The Sleep Conspiracy

Anyone that knows us, knows that:

• we have 3 beautiful children
• we have 3 children that go to bed nicely, without much drama
• we have 3 early risers

So we are often talking about how early we have to get up all the time. With the extra activity Simon is getting at preschool he is now sleeping in until 630am or sometimes even 7am on most mornings. The current early bird who likes to catch the worm when it is still a very dark 5.30am is Ben. Back to bed Ben!. I am convinced he and his brother are conspiring to prevent any form or sleep-in for their parents. Whenever on the rare occasion that Ben decides to sleep in past 615am he arranges for big brother Simon to get up earlier with some lame excuse such as he can't find one of the hundreds of toys in his bed. Simon is actually too lazy to get out of bed, he just shouts out so one of us will come rushing in.

Who knows what they are telling their little sister to do or maybe she is the brains trust behind this little scam. Everyone knows how manipulative girls can be and she is cute.
