Pros and Cons
2012
Any time I have an important decision to make, I always like to weigh the Pros and Cons. Plus, I love me a good list. I also use Pro and Con lists to attempt to validate an argument.
Today, I would like to present to *Baby Boy a list of Pros and Cons that shows that waking up at the **crack of stupid is bad; very, very bad.
Pros:
1. The one on one time is nice.
2. You are definitely cute upon first light.
3. Your enthusiasm for life is commendable.
4. Hearing you sing is always a great way to wake up.
Cons:
1. Anything called the crack of stupid should be avoided.
2. I am mostly unconcious for at least half an hour, which defeats my ability to enjoy the one on one time.
3. I don’t appreciate cereal chucked ceremoniously to the floor until much, much later in the day.
4. I can’t see without my glasses on and it’s too early for contacts.
5. My sense of humor doesn’t wake up until at least 8.
6. You often wake up other children who desperately need to sleep longer.
7. Any enthusiasm for life should be saved for a reasonable hour.
8. After your inital enthusiasm, you often melt down into a heap of crankiness, which, for obvious reasons, I’m not keen on in the wee hours of the morning.
Obviously the Con list wins, which means, dear baby of mine, that sleeping longer is highly recommended. Now, lets’s all go back to bed. No? Please? Fine.
*Yes, I know Baby Boy does not read.
**The Crack of Stupid is defined as anything before 7:30a.m.

I remember those days.
So feel for you. 20month old is still waking up every 3 hours to nurse (whaaa? i know. I KNOW), then up and at ‘em with your little boy. Maybe this could be called C.O.S syndrome??
Sue Elisabeth´s last [type] ..Snoring is sexy. No. No, it’s not. But it’s YARD SALE DAY!!! And DID Elmer kill his wife?
Yes, while there are some pros to a baby awake at the crack of stupid, the cons rule for me too. Dang kids not sleeping.
At least they are cute!
Having a baby do it is one thing…having a 6 year old boy doing it every morning is another! Pulling at your eyelids, whispering in your ear, climbing all over you.
Meanwhile Mom and my 4 and 8 year old daughters continue to sleep.
Never too long until my son’s rambunctiousness wakes up my 4 year old though, and then I have 2 little turkeys crawling all over me.
I guess it’s better than in 10 years when they won’t even talk to me!
