All of my crazies are early risers and all of them since birth. They go through phases occasionally of sleeping until 7:00 AM and when that happens it's like the angels are singing praises from above! I feel like a million dollars if my clock has a seven as the first number when awoken by one of the children.
This morning was no different. Crazy 3 decided at 4:30 AM he needed to be fed and refused to go back into his crib, which meant he stayed in bed with me. Crazy 2 woke up at 5:45 AM, but The Husband got up with him and shut our bedroom door hoping to allow me to get some extra sleep. Alas, that was not to be, Crazy 1 came in around 6:15 AM to let me know she couldn't sleep. That was when Crazy 3 decided to rouse as well. All in all, I managed to stay in bed until around 6:45 AM. Notice the clock did not have a seven at the beginning.
I don't believe that by getting up early I am any more productive than if I could sleep until 7:00 AM. I actually think that I am lazier and lacking in motivation due to lack of sleep. I don't think I am being greedy in wanting to sleep just a little bit, I don't think it's greedy to expect that with three kids I could maybe sleep until 7:00 AM. If I wanted to sleep until 10:00 AM then fine, I deserve my fate for having 3 little ones.
I say this now, but I am sure that when they are teens and are all trying to sleep until noon, my story will be the complete opposite of now. Only time will tell I guess.
