By 5:45 am...

This morning, Ethan attempted to wake up at 5am. We told him to go to the bathroom and try sleeping a little bit more. That lasted until 5:30. Mike got up and Ethan climbed into bed next to me. He touched my face and then said: "Mom, I had a dream about Hot Wheels, and I want to learn about squids and octopuses now, and do you think Jeff and Jaime are awake yet? Also, are you going to exercise and can I have toast for breakfast?" He then took a breath.
