Yawn

We've been spoiled. Since Sophie was a wee one, we've been able to sleep in till anywhere between 7:30-8:30AM. Now, not so much. Lately she has been waking earlier and earlier. 7:00. 6:45. 6:30. And now 6:15. We thought maybe the time change. But two weeks before the time changes we start putting her to bed later and later each night until it's a full hour later, which also had her waking a full hour later. Then I thought maybe the neighbors, who's bathroom window looks onto her window, were taking a shower early and waking her. But that wasn't the case as I didn't see their light on when I went to get her. Today I realized it is the heat. Our heat doesn't come on at night. Rarely anyway. It comes on at precisely 6:15AM. I know this because the clank and rattle of our old radiators always wakes me up too. And sure enough, seconds later I hear Sophie begin to stir.

I'm thinking there is no way around this and I'm just going to have to get used to getting up early for the rest of the Winter. Another reason to wish for Spring to come quick.
