Morningtime with Archie

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Archie wakes up and can’t wait for “morningtime.” Anytime between 5:00 am and 7:00 am he starts in with, “is it almost morningtime yet?” Upon receiving confirmation of morningtime, he launches into all the conversations he’s had to pent up throughout the night.

Archie wakes up and can’t wait for “morningtime.” Anytime between 5:00 am and 7:00 am he starts in with, “is it almost morningtime yet?” Upon receiving confirmation of morningtime, he launches into all the conversations he’s had to pent up throughout the night.

Archie: Mommy? Mommy?

Me: mmmph

Archie: Is it morningtime yet?

Me: mmmph. . . . almost.

Archie: Yea! That was fast. It’s morningtime! Do you want to know what I want to be when I grow up?

Me: (opening one eye) sure.

Archie: I want to hang Carter by his feet.

Me: (opening both eyes) What?

Archie: When I’m grown up, I’ll be able to hang Carter by his feet, like Daddy does to us. It’ll be fun.

Me: Ah. What else will you do when you’re a grown up?

Archie: Watch Buffy.

Good to know he’s got a plan.
