Brushing time

Two sleepy heads...

Mira is easier to manage in the mornings though when I am about to brush her teeth, she coquettishly call out for her Appa to do the honours (you can see him in the mirror getting brush ready for a still sleeping Ash).

Ash refuses to open his eyes after all our efforts - sprinkling water in his face, then forcefully lifting him off the bed and on to the drawing room diwan - sometimes he rushes back to his cot with his eyes shut tight. Or announces half asleep that "Achacha is sick/ Achacha has fever/ The teacher will beat me/ No pool (school)".

Ditto about our efforts to feed him breakfast and milk. The past two days I have been pushing a crying Ash off to school. He somehow seems to detest the school now. I dont know what it is. I check with the women-in-charge and they tell me he is fine there. Maybe I will pull him out in the next term after Xmas, after I get him formal admission in a big school.

I have a little one who is slow to wake up in the mornings, too. I've found that if I wake her up earlier, she has more time to wake up and is more willing and ready to face the day. It's hard, because I want to try to let her sleep in as long as she can, but it seems to work better in reverse. Of course, getting them to bed at a decent hour is also key.

Good luck!

Ya, we have been meaning to try it too - sleep real early and wake up early too. But so far not really successful with our late working hrs.
