"Mommy! I need to go potty!"
Look at alarm clock - 4:00 AM.
"Go ahead."
Sounds of bathroom activity.
"Mommy! Can you help me wash my hands?"
Why, oh, why didn't I wait to teach her about handwashing until she was tall enough to reach the faucet from her stepstool.
"Okay."
Handwashing takes place. Stumble back to bed where Sera waits patiently for me to settle in before climbing up and over me to lie inbetween Jim and me.
While this takes place have the dog bark wildly and loudly because he's jealous. He's not allowed on the bed.
Drift just to the edge of sleep.
"Mommy, my belly hurts. It's hungwy."
"It's too early for breakfast. Sleep a little more first."
Drift just to the edge of sleep.
"But, mommy, I need pillow!"
Hear sounds of shifting and snugglilng. Daddy must have dealt with this.
Drift back to sleep.

Okay, okay. Get up, and head to shower.
"Mommy! Whatcha doin'?"
"Going to take a shower."
"Mommy, are you going downstairs?"
"No"
"Mommy, I hungwy."
"After we're dressed, you can have breakfast."
And how did your day begin?

Pretty much the same way for me.
Close to the same. No potty involved, but a little one climbed in bed with me at about 6 this morning. Then I hear lets get up, lets eat, when are we getting up.
ahhhhhhh. You handled that much better than I would have! ;0)
Magi,

My mornings go very much the same and I always hope for just a little more sleep. Too funny. Jane says, "My tummy says he's hungry!"
