Morning person? Or not?

You decide...

OK...so anyone who knows me, knows I am NOT a morning person. In spite of that fact, I have started waking up at 6:15ish every morning, in anticipation of my alarm. That doesn't mean I get up, however...usually I roll over and fall back asleep, making myself late every single day. I would much rather stay up super late than get up even remotely early...of course, sleeping in would be 8 a.m. around here. I do NOT enjoy waking up...although if pressed, I will admit that I LOVE the atmosphere of early morning...when everything is crisp and being lit up with the sun, and the birds are chirping, and everything is waking up. I do love that.

Levi is DEFINITELY a morning person. So much so, that it makes me crazy! He is like a little human alarm clock--7 a.m. EVERY day...in fact, if he sleeps later, I start worrying about him. He is pretty good though--he'll wake up and play in his bed for awhile, so usually on a weekend I can stay in bed until 7:30 or so.

Sam is pretty much a morning person too--he always has been, even when he was younger than Levi. He would wake up early and be so happy and cheerful! Now he is split about 70/30 on whether he will be cranky or not (70 not, 30 cranky), but he is still happy usually. I guess I can't really say he is a morning person though--he is my biggest trial in the evenings! He will NOT go to bed either. Seriously, it was almost 11 when he finally gave up last night. I started bedtime at like 8:15. It is making me NUTS! Any ideas?

Benjamin...well...as you can see, he was still sleeping when I was taking pictures. If allowed, he will pretty much consistently sleep until about 8:45 or 9. And he always ALWAYS crashes before Samuel does. Ben likes his sleep. I like that Ben likes his sleep. He is still the crabbiest one when he wakes up though...although he is being really cheerful this morning. Hopefully it stays that way.
