Early risers

I have heard that in general the Aussies are early risers.  Something to do with the heat and getting out and about before you get completely fried.  

Now if things continue as they are then we will definitely be in that demographic.  Finn & Isla seem to be relishing being up with the larks at the moment.  The other morning at 5:45 Isla was chirruping from her cot, I kid you not.  5:45, what was she thinking?

The trouble is that while we are living with my Mum, Finn has his own room but Isla is in sharing with us.  Now she is still in a cot so at least she can't wake and roam around, however she has ears like a bat and the faintest rustle of the duvet from us and she sees this as green.  She turns on the full Isla charm and starts addressing us with 'Peepo' and 'Morning' in her adorable, heart melting, sing song voice.  We immediately fold and invite her into our bed (before she wakes Finn - who also has bat like hearing).  She sits in-between us as we do our best to feign sleep, poking first our noses and then our eyes.  What can you do?  There is no resisting her when she is being so cute.

A 6:45 rise on Saturday resulted in me commenting to Andy that this should now be considered a lie in!  All these early starts are making me no good to anyone and having to resort to climbing the wooden hill even earlier - recently once at 20:45!

Anyway.....it's 20:57 and I'm quite sleepy.....
