I outsmarted Jake

Victory. Its sweet.

When we transitioned the kids to their big kid beds a couple of months ago, I put a baby gate up at their doorway so no children could escape to the playroom at 3am to play.

This past month, we have started taking the baby gate down once they were asleep. However over the past couple of weeks I have noticed a trend that Jake was getting up earlier and earlier each morning.

Now, my kids typically sleep til 7am, something I enjoy because then I get to sleep longer.

Yesterday however, Jake was up at 6am.

He got up, turned on the tv to watch cartoons. He was up to tell Andy bye. That's too early.

So this morning, the baby gates stayed up and both kids slept til 720.

Addy wakes up early with help from Jake and then she is cranky and has to cuddle in the bed with me while we watch cartoons until Good Morning America comes on at 7.

Then I get ditched because the news isn't interesting.

Oh well. I'm barely staying one step ahead of them, that's all that matters.
