Go to bed early, get up early--this is wise. Some authorities say get up with one thing, some with another. But a lark is really the best thing to get up with. It gives you a splendid reputation with everybody to know that you get up with the lark; and if you get the right kind of a lark, and work at him right, you can easily train him to get up at half-past nine, every time--it is no trick at all.
Mark Twain
I loved the above quote as soon as I read it. The problem is that he never explained how to train a child to get up at half-past nine. That's a real trick. My daughter woke up at 6:00 this morning. 6:00!! She went to bed at 9:00 as usual, and didn't fight me (very unusual). However, she was ready to begin her day at 6:00 this morning. Seeing as I had stayed up to watch Sleepless in Seattle (I love that movie), I wasn't ready to get up at 6:00. Oh, well. Such is life.
She then went down for a nap at 2:00. She finally fell asleep at 2:45. Then she started stirring at 3:30. I don't think so. Go back to sleep. I turned her music back on, and I haven't heard another peep out of her. I only hope that it lasts.
Tonight, I think I will be decorating Easter eggs. If I "hide" them in conspicuous places, I think she'll enjoy having an Easter egg hunt. I hope that everyone has a very Happy Easter!

My daughter is my little alarm clock. With the time change coming I am sure 6:30 will turn into 5:30. Oh well. I hope you and your family have a great Easter!
Both of mine get up before 7 most weekends. How annoying, I know. It doesn't seem to matter when they went to sleep the night before either. Argh...don't they get how nice it is to be able to stay in bed on the weekends?? ;)
