After the "sleep over" there is always a "morning after". In Hayden's case, the morning usually begins at 5am. Yes, 5 AM! Not that I wasn't warned by my sister's FB status a couple of days ago which is as follows: " woke up at 4:45am lights on Hayden not in her room found her watching TV downstairs, I said it's too early to be awake she said " I was getting bored sleeping, sleeping is not fun. Don't worry this is what I do." ( Haydens version of "this is how I roll")"... Lucky for me, her Uncle Peter intercepted her and directed her back to her pillow. OFFICIAL wake up time was 720am, and the before school preparation began. It's truly amazing that we forget so quickly the "routine" that is involved with this. Breakfast, getting dressed, packing up the backpack, brushing hair, brushing teeth,and finally, playing with the dogs.
Don't be alarmed, but Hayden is now married-----to Sammy, our dog. She asked him today if he wanted to get married as she was playing with him, and then promptly gave him instructions to "kiss the bride!". All of this happening while she was making him stand up on his back legs like a little person.
Finally, we ventured to Lightning McQueen for the trip to school. It is clear that the world is just full of Hayden's friends, and that every day at school is just another day for her to interact with those friends. While driving down the street to her school, she saw some of those friends. "KATHY!!!!!" being yelled through a rolled up window is not very effective, but she didn't care, and was just thrilled that she got to see Kathy before the start of her school day. A hug, a kiss, and an "I love you Aunt" was all I needed to start mine. I can't wait until Activity #11.
