Sweet Victory!

This has been years in the making, and I've been waiting for the boys to be old enough for me to explain to them "It's too early to wake mom up. You can wake Mom up at 7." Then hopefully they'll prance off and go play until then. Well, so far I've gotten lucky. One morning at 6 something, Jesse comes to wake me up. He says, "The sun's up, it's time to get up mom." (Well, come summer time, that really won't fly with me when the sun comes up at 5 am). So I explained to him, "See the clock Jesse, when the first number is a 7 then you can wake Mom up). He said "Ok" and left the room. Of course he came back periodically to check for that magic number and when it was a 7, he let me know. So today, while I was starting to wake up, but still bundled in my blankets, I noticed Jesse walking in, he stopped, looked at the clock, turned and walked out the room, it was 6:45. Oh sweet victories as a Mom of twins! I never thought they would sleep through the night, let alone listen when I say, "Come back at 7, Mommy's still tired." They do love me :)

I'll slowly work up to 8. But for now 7 is good.
