When I was little, my younger sister Ashley and I shared a room, as I’ve mentioned before. In elementary school, I have very distinct memories of our mom coming in to get us up for school when we were in elementary school.
We had to be at the bus stop at 8:00, and at 7:20, Mom would come into our room. (I can’t even imagine getting ready that quickly in the morning at this stage in my life….but that’s another post.) “Good morning, girls…..it’s 7:20….” And then she would sing to us.
“Good morning, Mr. Sunshine. What makes you come so soon? You used to come at twelve o’clock, but now you come at noon.”
I love those memories. I love that we didn’t have to depend on alarm clocks when we were that little, and I love that Mom was there to get us up in that way. I sing that same little song to Leah in the mornings now, and I like to think that maybe if I keep doing that kind of thing, she’ll have sweet memories when she gets older, too.

Awwww....those are some good memories. Oddly, I remember a lot of fights happening in the room my sister and I shared.
aww. i love these posts. my sister and i shared a room too. i remember being up late and giggling together. ;0) and now MY girls are doing it. lol.
I'm laughing out loud because my mom used to wake me up each morning by flashing the hall light off and on off and on, and yelling up the stairs, "It's time to get up!" She meant well...
I sing Mom's song to Shelby too!
She will definitely have sweet memories because you're a GREAT mom!
