Sleep

I have always been a morning person. I still definitely would describe myself that way. Once I am up I am ready to go. However, in the last two years the getting up part is really getting to be challenging. The ONLY time I really have completely to myself is first thing in the morning. I really put out all effort to take full advantage of that opportune time. In the last couple of months I have not been getting up early. Today I remember why I abandoned that practice...Jacob! I love that child more than words can describe. Seriously, I can wake at 4am and he has some sort of sensor. He can detect when I am not sleeping and he finds me. If Jackson or Jonah wake up then it is no big deal. They will either lay on the couch very quietly watching tv or simply go back to sleep. However, if Jacob is awake then the whole house must be awake with him. He is loud. He yells a lot in the morning. Now, I remember that getting up early is not worth it. Today I got up at 7a. As I was getting out of bed I realized.....he was already next to me!! That is another secret thing with Jacob. Nearly every single night he manages in his sleep to come to our room. The absolute latest I have slept since having the kids since 8a. Sleeping in until you can't sleep any longer is the one thing I miss the most since having the kids. I am sure I could think of more things. Right now, I really miss sleeping in.
