Any Advice?
So, it’s 9 AM, Mary Clare just cried out my name (from my bed) and yelled for me to come get her. She needs her snuggle time to wake up. McCanless is still asleep and I have yet to shower. McCanless has successfully slept in her own bed for four straight nights in a row, but bed time is not something she looks forward to and has become quite a fantastic procrastinator. Drinks of water, under bed checks, hugs from Mommy, last kisses from Daddy and bathroom visits have been keeping her awake well past bedtime. I haven’t even begun breakfast and I have no idea what is on the docket for today other than helping McCanless finish her “Big Scoop” book report and Mary Clare’s first day of Broadway Babies, her new dance class. Next Thursday will be a rude awakening from our usually unscheduled summer days together! I’ve somewhat tried to jump start our days early and get a bedtime routine going, but it just isn’t working. Looks like we’ll be hitting school Cold Turkey! Wish us luck!

Grab every snuggle you can – it will work itself out.
