Sooner than expected

I think all parents of newborns and infants look forward to the day when the same child is 13 that they can wake them early with bright lights and an obnoxious "rise and shine - this is payback!" I just didn't think we'd get to enjoy it so soon because Grace has always been an early riser.

Last week, while still adjusting to daylight savings time, Steve had to wake Grace up to go to school. He carried her out of room as she hid her eyes on his shoulder, pointing and pleading "criiiib, criiiib!" We couldn't stop laughing because we are empathetic like that.

So far, I heart daylight savings. Here's hoping she continues to sleep past 6:30AM...
