• I’m Up Mom!!!!!

  

  When it’s time for my kids to get up in the morning I come into their bedrooms, turn on their lights and call their names in order to wake them up in the morning.  With Matthew I often have to threaten to pour water onto his head or polish his finger nails in order to “persuade” him that I actually mean that it is really time for him to get up in the morning.  Now, several other of my children have been difficult to rouse from sleep but not as bad as this child.  I have had to go into the bathroom and actually get the water into his room and start to sprinkle him before he gets the idea that I mean it then he will jump up and get out of be.  As you can see he likes his sleep.  When my back was really bad and I was using a cane I used to go in there and poke him with the cane and that would sometimes get him out of the bed.  They say that teenagers need more sleep than others but I don’t know.  Seems to me that we oldsters are more in need.  He does look cute all cudled up there in his bed.
