Day 1286. It was a typical morning with Emmy being up first. He put his headset on that tells him stories and lay back down, so that his siblings didn't get woken up right away. Tammy was up next, and Sammy last. I turned the kids' songs on for him and put him in Emmy's bed.

Day 1285. Emmy was up first and put the headset on that tells him stories. Before long all of them were awake, and Randy ended up getting up earlier than necessary, around 8:45 am. Sammy had already joined me in bed and was having fun with me. Randy then gave them all a new diaper, made his oatmeal and sat down with them for breakfast.

Day 1283. With Emmy as my alarm clock I did not have to set an alarm this morning, even though we had to get up an hour earlier than usual. He was the first one up and got his headset to listen to stories; that way he keeps quiet and does not wake his siblings up. Tammy then joined us, and soon Sammy was up as well.
