My alarm clockI have not set an alarm clock for a few years now. Who needs to hear that annoying, startling, obnoxious beep or a strange song on the radio that somehow creeps into that dream you are having, when you can wake up to a little voice saying "OK mom, lets do snuggles and cuddles!" While it is super cute to have this face wake me up each morning with a cheery little greeting, I admit that many mornings I am wishing the greeting came at least an hour later.
This morning my 3 year old morning greeter chose a different approach. I started to wake up when I heard the familiar sound of a small set of feet creeping into my room. Instead of her usual proclamation of "snuggles and cuddles," I was met with, "Mommy, I have a surprise for you!" I slowly opened my eyes, curious and concerned at what "a surprise" might entail. There was that smiling, cheery little face with no pajama pants on and a naked butt, standing right next to my bed holding up a single square of toilette paper very proudly. She continued, "Its a little square! For you to wipe my bottom." Lucky me. I could see how proud my little morning person was of herself for taking off her pants, going to the bathroom, and delivering that amazing single square of toilette paper to my bedside. Even though wiping some one's butt is not my idea of the ideal "wake up call," I'll take it today.

LOL she's a cutie! :o)
i still get woken up earlier than i would like by a child wanting to snuggle up next to me. I keep wondering at what age they enjoy sleeping in too?
I'll take the snuggle time since i know soon enough she will be too old to want to even give hugs and kisses because it is "uncool"... but are hugs really ever truly "uncool"? Gosh i hope not! :o)
that is so funny!
i wish ella would wake me up with something that soft - it's always something big like an encyclopedia or a steal toe boot.
