Early morning sounds

October 1, 2013 by admin 24 Comments

I wake up first, but remain in a half sleepy slumber for as long as possible. First I hear the click of a light switch and the rustle of paper as Z gets up and starts to draw. Followed by the the pad, pad of little feet towards our bed, ‘Can we get up?’ asks a little voice, ‘not yet’, we say. Little feet pad back to their room, I hear the cry of a toy doll, a nursery being set up.

A little later, three little people sneak downstairs, I hear the clip, clopping of plastic dress up shoes on a wooden floor and the unmistakeable swoosh of a light sabre.

We stir, ‘You get up, no you, I’ll get up tomorrow’.

Today, I heard some giggling, some scribbling and a little voice declaring that one bathroom was for the GIRLS and the other for Z and Baby Born ( a boy doll )

A little later I found these stuck to the bathroom doors – sorry for the rubbish photo, red paper and pencil is not the best combination.

    We have so many of those bits of paper stuck to our walls and doors that I don’t notice them any more. It’s only when people visit us that I realise they’re still there! There’s a post it note on our cereal cupboard with “breakfast scrawled over it – been there a couple of years at least ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love the drawings. Big man describes boys as having pointy up hair and girls have pointy down hair!

    It has to be said – these are more obviously male and female than some toiler signs in pubs and restaurants! Hire them out I say ๐Ÿ˜‰

    My kids are older now so we mainly hear doors slamming when they’re actually awake. But number 2 son had (and still has if the truth be known) a cuddly hippo to sleep with and he had a rattle inside. Son holding hippo used to creep across the landing to get into our bed and I would always wake up as the rattle progressed across the landing! I still smile when I hear the rattle!

    Ours is either a big boy bottom bumping down the stairs from his bedroom in the loft conversion. Or Dadeeeeee! from little one’s bedroom next door. Either way, it’s usually my other half who gets up first to help them greet the day ๐Ÿ˜‰

    That’s bought back memories of lying in bed arguing over who is getting up first. At weekends now in our house, my husband and I are always up earlier than our teenage son who would happily sleep all day. It’s brilliant!!

    Both Roo and Tigger are early risers and unfortunately for me it is the time of day when they seem to have the most energy. So our noises vary from an argument over what film we are watching first or giggling over cBeebies

    Love this post. I think I am the sound that others hear! I get up early and try to be quiet, but I’m sure everyone hears the coffee machine at 6 am. x

    Aww! How sweet. Sausage has a cabin bed, so my favourite sound is hearing her padding down her ladder before skipping in to wake me.

    Love it, what adorable pictures. I heard my girls playing this morning and when I went in apart from a city set up on the floor they were sitting on one of the beds surrounded by books and that for me was such a great sight to see, one I hope may long continue.

    Oh that is so sweet. We have whispers in the ear about going down stairs and having breakfast. Wish mine would get on with some drawing.

    So cute! I have been waking up lately to Jacob sitting on the floor by my bed waiting for me to open my eyes so he can get in with us for a cuddle.
    That or the sound of him peeing (in the bathroom obviously!) wakes me up
