Six-Thirty Rule

I used to have a rule: nobody gets up before daylight.

That was before I saw the beginnings of daybreak at 5:30 this morning.

Did you catch that? I was up at 5:30. The first 5:30 of the day. As in a.m.

I was woken up by the sweetest "bmabma." (That is how Tyler says "mama.") I tried to get him to lay down again and he asked for a "dddddd" (drink).

After the drink, I tried to get him to lay down with me. He did, but no sleep... for either of us.

I have a new rule. Nobody gets up before 6:30. But unfortunately, Tyler thinks all numbers are "zzzzz" (zero).
