In the past few months, Alex has become a very good sleeper. He goes to be somewhere between 8 and 9 pm, and stays asleep all night long, awakening somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30 am. We think sometimes he wakes up a little earlier than he lets on, but amuses himself quietly in the crib. Unless we are in a rush to go somewhere, we generally don't go into his bedroom to get him in the morning until we hear him.
This morning, I finished getting ready and noticed it was almost 7:45 and I still hadn't heard from Alex. I went into his bedroom and he was standing up in his crib, looking refreshed and happy. I said to him "Good Morning, Alex! Time to get up and get dressed!" and he gave me a devlish grin and dived back down into sleeping position. As in, Mommy, I am staying in bed! He was laughing and smiling the whole time. Seeing as how I had just gone through a similar routine with trying to get Daddy out of bed, it was pretty darn funny. Like Father, like Son!
