When we moved Avery to a big girl bed, we instructed her not to get up in the mornings without calling for us first. She never had problem doing this. At first, she would shout, “Mommy!!!” Then it became, “Mommy, I’m awake!!!” And lately it’s turned into ,”I love you, Mommy!!!” They’re all very sweet ways to hear her wake up in the mornings.
