Green Number 7, Green Chair

We bought an alarm clock to try to keep Grant from getting out of bed so early in the morning. Each digit is a different color so it's a little easier for him to recognize which one he needs to look at. Every night we tell him he needs to stay in bed until he sees the green number 7. And... it's not really working. I don't know if he forgets to look at it or what, but he gets up and comes out of his room. When we ask him if he saw the green 7 he cries. And cries. But as soon as it really is 7:00 and we tell him to go look, he flips a switch and is SO EXCITED to see the green 7. One morning I sent him back in his room to look and I heard "Mommy, the green number 7 came back!" Maybe one of these days this plan will work the way we want it to.


We never had a bumbo seat with Grant but decided to get one for Leah. She really likes it and here she is the first day, watching football.
