Time to Rise


My Sleepyhead.


I love watching you try to wake up after your late nights-
reading piles of books in bed.


And I love how in the mornings you are tired but never grumpy.


Just a sleepy sweet girl.

TIME TO RISE
A birdie with a yellow bill
Hopped upon the window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said:
"Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head?"

-Robert Lois Stevenson

Isin't morning the best, they are sweet and so loving! That's my FAVORITE time with my Jules. I love all of your poems Deann, do you search for the perfect poem to post with your pictures or do you know all these poems by memory!

Thanks Erica! I just love poetry. I have a poetry book for kids that I get most of these poems from. It's called Here's A Little Poem. It's sooooo cute. You would love it for Julia. I guess the poems relate SO well to the lives of children because so many of the pictures I post remind me instantly of one of them! It will just pop into my head. It helps that we read the poems in the book often. My kids LOVE this book!

How cute Sydney is...just like mommy! reading late in bed! I just had to laugh about that. She's too little to stay up so late! She looks like Chadwick in the mornings!

I'll never get a picture of my kids being sleepy heads, because I'm a bigger sleepy head!

I've always loved how Sydee looks when she first wakes up. It's the cutest and sweetest thing EVER.
