Mady knows no volume control. I've been around painfully loud other kids, but when they are not around.. I swear Mady is the loudest thing I have ever heard. Although, she has the most precious voice and I can't get enough of it.
Im laying in bed this morning.
AK hit the alarm at 5:50a :SNOOZE: 6:00a I moaned "nuh..huh... not yet" :SNOOZE: .. 6:10a :SNOOZE: he told me to roll over and we curled up until the wretched thing started playing another obnoxious country song too early in the morning. Finally he gets up and lets the dog out, turns the shower on and comes back to the bedroom. Kisses me on the forehead and says, "5min. That's all you get. Im jumping in the shower now, you join me in 5min!". Those five minutes of the bed to myself, knowing I have to get up very soon. I savor every second of the perfect balance of warm vs. cool bedding, fluffy blankets and all the pillows. It's Just Heaven.
90 seconds into my last five minutes....
I hear tiny feet running down the stairs and fly around the living room, all the while screeching:
MOMMY! DADDY! I NEEEEED TO GO POTTTTTTTY!
She bolts thru the bathroom door and yells for daddy to help her QUICK to get her jammies off so she can potty.
Mady: What are you doing in there? Are you in the shower daddy? Are you washing your hair? Where is mommy? Daddy, where is my mommy?
AK: She's in bed. Pleaseee be quiet sweety, mommy is still sleeping.
Mady: Oh you want me to be quiet because mommy is sleeping? Ok.
......she talks consistently the rest of the time about any and everything that comes to her mind. You don't even have to respond, she just keeps talking!
another solid 3-4min goes on and for some reason she doesn't pee / can't / most likely, already did before she made it to the potty. She comes into my bedroom.
Mady: Mommy. I couldn't go pee-pee on the potty, I tried but I couldn't go.
Me: That's great sweety.
I can't even open my eyes. please, pleaseee, i love you child. no talking. 30seconds. silence.
Mady: Are you still sleeping mommy? I stayed in my bed all night, are you proud of me?
Me: Of course I am hunny, thank you. Mommy is tired, shhhhh
Mady: Will you turn cartoons on for me in the living room please? Im going to go to my chair and get my blanket, and will you get out of bed and turn the cartoons on please?
Me: Yesssssss.
I surrounder. I know I have exhausted my 5min time allowance already, but I should be able to dispute that because I never got the perfect sleep that I counted on!
Mady: You're my best friend mommy, my best friend in the whole wide world.
And she runs off to the living room. Messy hair. long sleeve shirt on with no bottoms or underwear at all. The sweetest voice you will ever hear, even when you want to hear nothing with your eyes closed at 6am on a 35 degree Tuesday morning. I will miss these exhausting chaotic start to our days, I know I will.
