Joe left for work at 5:30am and I was awake enough that I got up to go to the bathroom. Usually, I just sleep on through. Why is this fact relevant? Because it means I was out of bed close enough to my door to hear the chatter of two little boys. I've mentioned we're not a morning family, right? Well, Aidan & Colin decided to try to overcome their genetic inclination to sleep in due to their recent bout with Wii addiction. I went into their room to find Colin at the window confirming to Aidan that Daddy was gone.
Aidan was all ready to get out of bed for the day at that point.
Why?
Because he slept in his clothes.
Why?
Because he wanted to get up and play the Wii.
At 5:30am.
Without having to stop to get dressed for school.
This is exactly why I wanted to ban video games. But then I realized how much they distract the boys when I want to get something done. This is payback. Please note, that I forbid them from going through with their plan and they immediately went back to a deep enough slumber that I had to go through our usual 7:25am panic to get out of bed and ready for the 8am bus.
