Mornings with our cupcake

Our sweet cupcake has been sleeping until 6:30 or 7:00 in the mornings. This is a HUGE improvement from 5:30am. However, it's still a little earlier than we like to get up. So, our new routine is that Daddy goes and changes her diaper and then brings her in for cuddle time in our bed. Like most things with a 13 month old it lasts about 5 minutes, sometimes 10 on a good day. So rather than some extra sleep, she's more like a snooze button. Recently though she learned how to climb down from our big bed by herself and waddle around and explore. In the morning when she first wakes up she walks more like E.T. - a cute waddle. Her normal routine is this:

Climb down.
Peak behind the curtains allowing blinding sun into the eyes of her lazy parents.
Waddle into the bathroom.Attempt to flush toilet (no success yet).
Open Daddy's bathroom drawer (Mommy's is too high, thank goodness!)
Dig around.
(Sometime we laugh from the bed at how busy she is)Grabs Dadda's toothbrush.
Brushes hair while saying "Pretty, Pretty"Then decides to brush teeth too.
Comes back to the bed room to see if we've gotten up.
Keeps brushing.
We have perfect teeth around here for a reason.
Decides to pick out an outfit for Dad.More brushing.
Drooling.Ok....one of us gets up.
Then she shows us the mess she's made in the bathroom.She's proud.
We're groggy.
But at least we got to hit snooze.
Once.
