I think August is feeling the effect of having to wake up at 7:00 each morning. He has his own alarm, which really has saved our relationship, and takes a shower every day. Poor kid has somehow received his father's ability to take super long showers and has to set an additional alarm in the bathroom so he knows when his 10 minutes are up.
This morning I couldn't help but notice that he was dragging a bit more than usual. Last night we picked Trey up from the airport and didn't get home until 10:00pm. I think the kids now understand why we keep their bedtime between 8 and 9.
Speaking of Trey, he spend the weekend in LA so he could see a few shows and came home so sick! He's got that body ache and headache and he just wants to sleep. We're keeping him away from everybody so that it doesn't make it's way through the family.
The kids and I all got our flu shots the other day...well, I got my flu shot and the kids cried and generally threw a fit until the nurse happily suggested that they get the nasal mist. August has always had a hard time with shots, but Hazel? She's been so brave every time...except this time.
But I'm hoping having had the immunizations, we'll be set for a healthy winter.

Oh, man! Hope Trey feels better soon and that the rest of the family stays healthy. xo
these new early mornings are rough! and i'm so glad to hear about your kids bedtimes, i have to confess.
we feel like stingy parents, but seriously, the kid is tired every morning and he drags. he needs every hour of his sleep.
we extended his bedtime to 9pm this year (still not good enough as he claims "all the other kids" go to bed at 9:30, 10pm. sometimes 11?? and so i say: you know what? they have bad parents. hahahah
it's nice to know i can quote another parent who has my (bedtime)back! :)
