Daylight Savings October 30, 2006

Filed under: Uncategorized — Mark @ 2:20 pm

As the days have been getting longer we’ve been woken between 6 and 6.30 am each morning by either the PuppyDeluxe needing to go out or Finn being all awake. We were hoping that turning the clocks forward for Daylight Saving would enable us to sleep until 7 or 7.30, giving us at least the illusion of a later start. No such luck.

Finn appeared by my side of the bed at 5.30am this morning!

He hopped in for a cuddle and then agreed to let Mark take him back to his own bed. Half an hour later, though, he was back, claiming to have a pooey bum. He didn’t, but Mark got up and kept him amused while I slept on until 8 o’clock.

Who said toddlers can’t tell time?

nice to see you back on the blog! I don’t think there was any risk of me or my sister rising early, but my folks instigated a family saying in our early years. “See you in the morning, after the shower.” Either Mum or Dad emerging from the shower was the sign that we were allowed to get up and out of bed. We still say goodnight like that now when holidaying together, kind of tongue in cheek, kind of as a way to let Dad know not to way us up. Yes, the tides have turned.
