Morning Regiment with Sergeant Brianna

At our house, when Brianna decides it's time to get up, (usually around 6:30 in the morning), we all get up. She makes sure of it! If either Mommy or Daddy has decided to try and catch 10 more minutes of shut-eye she shuts us down pretty quickly. She'll run into our bedroom, look at the offending parent and say "All done, Daddy, all done, out bed!" Then she yanks at the covers. If it's me in bed at this point she demands "Mommy, gasses (glasses) on, gasses too!" At this point Bogart usually starts in meowing and whining for his breakfast. He seems to always be whining for food and Bree has heard us tell him to be quiet often enough that this morning, when he started in, she included him in her morning ordering around. "Kitty, stop it!...Shhhh" and then after he quieted down she said, "Thank you Kitty!" Finally, when she's gotten both of us, bleary-eyed, out of bed and onto the couch with our cups of coffee she likes to comment on our beverages. "Mommy, coffee? Daddy, coffee? Coffee too hot!" (This last part is because we've had to tell her coffee is too hot for babies, and occasionally she's managed to touch the ceramic mugs and hurt her little fingers.) Ultimately we end up turning on her morning cartoons for defensive pursposes and nursing our coffees with our eyes half open...
