"But Cael, we can't fit three DVDs in the machine at the same time..."

Cael gets up without waking me. I come downstairs to find him trying to get the DVD player to operate or rearranging books in the hallway. I would be happy to get a chance to sleep in a little, but it is a little disorienting to find my son downstairs without me. And Cael is my alarm clock. He gets up between 7 and 7:20 every day- something I have come to rely on. Without him, Isabel and I would sleep until noon. Well, at least 8!
