The shades we put in the kids' room are no longer dark enough. They're just white plastic shades behind dark blue curtains. But the kids are getting up, on average, at 5 am.
Now, mind you, waking up and rolling over to see your almost-two-year-old son looking beseechingly at you while he clutches the teddy bear his great-Nana made him to his chest is probably an 8.5 on the Cuteness Richter scale, BUT at 5 am, when you know that if he'd stayed in bed you could get up at 7 am like a normal person, well, the cute gets a little less cute.
Add in his wandering sister, who's probably wormed her way into your bed already anyway, and it's no wonder Josh and I have been reduced to incoherent grunts most mornings -- and that's at work.
Sometimes at 5:30 or 6 they go play together relatively quietly in the living room, and those are the moments when I am most happy to have two kids -- because otherwise we'd be pestered to come play too.
So I think we are going to get some real blackout shades for their room. As soon as possible.
Because the cutest damn alarm clocks in the world are still going off WAY too early.
