Rhin - eeeew! I lovely way to be greated in the morning! Not!
If DD wakes up before 7am, I refuse to get up with her, unless like today, there is a reason.
I started this when she would wake at 6.30am, after sleeping longer. And now, she does sometimes wake at 6:30am, but is content playing in her cot, talking to her cow,' reading' a book which I leave in there, generally being vocal.

However, what I did think this morning, is that if she wakes up again this time tomorrow, on her birthday, I am going to get dressed straight away, and go take a walk by the sea, whatever the weather. I do like this time of morning, if I can get awake enough to appreciate it.

kiskidee · 30/06/2007 06:36

McDreamy - I thought of Cyrpus as I wrote 'somewhere not too hot'! WE had a heatwave ehre last year, and it was very tough I thought, but I had just had DD, who had to be kept in many layers in hosp and we could not have windows open, or fans on (she was small), so we melted, and the same when we came home, and of course could not go out in the mid day sun!

However, what was lovely was that we could take DD to the beach at 8am and it would be lovely, or for an evening stroll at 6-7am as it was still warm!
I am not really a big hot weather girl, I burn easily. I just want enough sun to have DD's first birthday party outside tomorrow . Not going to happen!

TrinityRhino · 30/06/2007 06:34

yes regularly
but often with an explosive, up the back poo aswell
not this morning though which is good

McDreamy · 30/06/2007 06:33

Have you nearly finished Tulip or have you just started?

I'm somewhere hot - v. hot. I know the UK is having the most awful weather at the moment but it's quite unpleasant here too! Cyprus recrded it's hottest ever temperature this week!

KittenKat · 30/06/2007 06:30

tulip, oh dear. Somewhere hot would be nice tho wouldnt it? Not too hot, just some sunshine, and the prospect of clear skies when I look out of the weindow. Rather than the greay bleakness I know will descend upon us again.

At least my plants are healthy.

I am currently listening to Music for Babies CD, got it from M&S for a fiver, its great, soothing me, but DD, well there is not a chance of sleep for a while.

DP, he has to get up in 5 mins, to call his work, as he is unwell. He said to me, although also wide awake and needing to be up for a reason...you get up then, and I will 'tag' you when I get up! I have had coffee, I shall be unlikely sleeping either now!

What time do you finish tulip?
6am regularly rhino? ouch!

McDreamy · 30/06/2007 06:25

2 hours ahead so not really early for me! Mornaing everyone

tulip27 · 30/06/2007 06:25

No I'm not somewhere hot, oh I wish. I'm in a hospital watching heart monitors and drinking uninterupted coffee.

Gecko likes to get up at 6am

My DD has her first canine tooth about to break out any moment, and its giving her trouble. She went to bed at 8.30pm, woke at 9.30pm, unusual for her, and woke this morning at 5am. I would not usually get up this early with her, but she was very upset.

Now though, happuly playing with her Ark, and, of course just found the wetwipes so she is fine now! Thank you Baby Oragel!

Working?! Are you in England? Somewhere hot? Dont say somewhere hot...

DD iss 11 months and 30 days old!

sugarfree · 30/06/2007 06:19

Just off to work.
