Hey! It's Mr. and Mrs. here.
Being a parent of young children is a great blessing....but let's be honest, there are many changes that come about when those little angels come along. One of those is Saturday mornings. Take this morning for example: just before 7 we hear the sounds of talking and babbling coming from the nursery and the looming question has to be asked..."which one of us is going to get up?!?" Often times one of us just offers to be the first out of bed, change the diaper, start the coffee, etc... and the other one of us is shortly behind. (I mean honestly, once you're already awake it's pretty hard to go back to sleep most days, right?!?) Needless to say, we have yet to come up with a "system" that works to decide who is getting up with the babe in the morning. Post a comment about how you decide who get's up with your kiddo(s). We would love to know your thoughts. Due to some questions about legalities of blog givaways, we have
unfortunately suspended this contest. We are sorry for your inconvenience.
The every other method usually works for us. "I got up last time. Your turn!" But as we get older our memory isn't as good and sometimes we "argue" about who really did get up last time. :-)
ReplyDeletewe usually do the I will get up this time and let you sleep in a bit and then its your turn the next day, that way you don't forget. but with a baby, often times they just want to smell mom and be comforted. so we often brought the babies into bed with us so we could both snooze in.
ReplyDeleteI agree that once you're up you can't fall back asleep anyway. We try to take turns on the weekend, but most weekends he gets up with her and gets breakfast started until I roll out of bed!
