Bad news - Waking up this morning was hell. John came down at 6 AM on the dot. Not so bad because he'll climb into bed and let a sleepy mommy snuggle for a while. Just has we had settled under the covers Andrew wakes up, calling for his animals and permission to leave his bed. John hops out and heads to Andrew's room. Andrew refuses to budge but continues to call for me so up I get. The minute he sees me he begins with a steady string of "Jack Anna, Zoo Baby...." Meanwhile, I have noticed that his diaper has leaked and he needs to be changed. Apparently Andrew has decided that we are now a clothing and diaper optional household and refuses to let me cover his bottom. After five minutes of epic screaming and kicking (Andrew) and restraining and bribing (me), I manage to get both diaper and pants back on the littlest Anderson. Now, I am enjoying a brief moment of internet bliss as the boys partake in Jack Hanna's Zoo Life - Zoo Babies video.
Nothing calms a screaming Andrew like a little Jack Hanna in the morning. Although, couch battles have begun, Sam is asking for a band-aid and Andrew is on the move. Looks like my internet retreat is over; hopefully, this is no indication on how the rest of the day will proceed.

Love reading this- it is my life just different names for the kids:)
I hope you had a better day than it started out to be! Maybe you'll have to try my "christmas lights" technique with John-he can't get out of bed (or wake up Sam) until the lights come on, and he can't leave his room until you come to get him (which of course will lead to him waking up Sam, so then you'd open up a whole new can of worms). Good luck!
