Jeff has always sworn the reason our children get up hours before the sun is to spend time with me before I go to work. I've had my doubts. Then yesterday morning, as I was getting ready to walk out the door around 7:00, I heard Ree calling me from her room. Our conversation:
Ree: Mom?
Me: Yes?
Ree: Can I get up?
Me: Um, yes. (Why was she asking? She normally just shows up in the living room carrying her blanket, pillow, and Abby doll.)
I walk over to her room and meet her as she's coming out.
Ree: Why are you in your work clothes?
Me: I have to go to work. I have one more day of work this week.
Ree: I'm still a little bit sleepy.
Me: Do you want to go back to bed?
Ree: Yes.
And she went back to bed and slept for another hour.
Score one for Jeff.
