In this case, I am referring to the Ram in Charlotte's Web. He speaks Braden's mind. . . about our children. Can't you hear them saying dryly, "What luck- an early riser. And he has things to say."
Our children generally wake early (before 7 a.m.). It's early, I suppose, because most of my friends' children do not get up that early in the morning. I don't give it much thought, since I am up then, too, and have always loved being up in the early morning. (I distinctly remember going downstairs early on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons only to wait for HOURS for the colored bars on the screen to be replaced with the actual programming. Did anyone else experience that?)
Around here, the activity starts early. I have noticed many times how peaceful our street seems at 7 in the morning as I am out for a walk; until I turn up our sidewalk and I can hear the noise from a distance. It's a bit of a joke that everyone wants to talk at once. After Braden says "Amen" at each meal, I wonder who will jump in with the first, "Dad?" It happens before he has even raised his head. Everyone around here has a lot to say. And apparently, it's never too early.

I just want to say thank you and atta-girl for posting again so soon! I love it! Keep it up, keep it up! More, more, more...! :)
BTW, what time to your kids fall asleep at night? We are a family of night owls, so there are (occasional) days my kids will sleep in till 9:30 or almost 10, but only after they've stayed up till 11:30 or midnight! As much as I could never get up at 6am, I know you could equally never hang past 10pm. (But we've known this, right?) Love ya!:)
