Early Morning Riser

Our little rooster continues to rise so early, even on the weekends. She knows somehow the difference between waking in the middle of the night, when she easily agrees to go back to sleep if her blankets or animals are adjusted, vs waking at 5:30 or 6 and being ready for the day. This is the case despite it being just as dark at 2 AM as it is when she wakes at 5:30 or 6 AM.

When she woke the other morning, at exactly 6 AM sharp, she greeted me by saying, "Hi, Mommy!" I knew there was no chance she would go back to sleep. I asked her as I scooped her out of bed:

"How do you know that it's 6 AM? How do you know what time it is? That it's time to get up?"

(thoughtful pause)

"Um, the clock."

Duh, mommy!
