Waking Up.

I woke up this morning to Ian's bedroom door loudly opening, and a small voice whining "I want drink."

As I ushered him back to his bed--quietly, since Ana was sleeping across the room--I told him he could have a drink as long as he stayed in bed. After all, it was only 5:37am.

So, I headed downstairs, filled up a juice cup (completely diluted), and brought his drink to him. But as I handed Ian his cup, his little arms remained limp in bed. He had fallen back asleep. I set the drink down and headed back to bed.

After drifting in and out of consciousness, I heard Ian emerge from his room an hour later, whining "I want drink! Pottttyyyyyyy." I got up, grabbed his cup, and we headed down the stairs to the bathroom.

Half way down the stairs, Ian again started saying "I want a drink! Pottttyyyy! Downstairssss!"

I responded, "Ian, WAKE. UP. Your juice is in your hand, we are on the stairs, and we are headed for the bathroom."

Ian turned to me with a grin and exclaimed, "Is it morning time Mommy?!"

... Yes Ian. Yes it is.

I remember years ago, having issues with how parents ALWAYS talked about their kids. So I was determined to not always talk about mine, since there is more to me than just them. This is why I have had blogger's block the past while, because whenever I go to write, its about them!

So I decided I'd better just start writing about my kids rather than not writing at all!

Welcome back Kelly!

I love to hear stories of your kiddos and what's happening in your's and their lives. In reading your blog today I remembered back to times when Jamie and Brandon were little and would have similar experiences especially with Jamie. He would come into our room and talk to us and then not even remember doing it.

I hope you have a great day and I look forward to reading more about you, Aaron and the little ones.

Oh wow...I have to say that when you write about life, you must write about what occupies it. And right now at this stage, its the kids. You are on track Kelly!
