Describe your typical morning routine.

Early morning, awakened by Josiah, wanting to be changed, eat and play. I attempt to sleep with him crawling and poking me until Eila wakes up and joins us in the bed. Then, “It’s time to get up; it’s not time to sleep, Maman.” So, we get up and “go potty” and eat. From there each day is different, but usually involves some showering, getting dressed, whining and reprimanding.
