Morning Person
Eliana is the definition of a morning person.
She is, in general, the first to wake up and does so usually by 7am
(like clockwork);
sometimes I'll get up before her (like this morning), but by and large
she's up well before I'd like to arise. In fact, we don't set our alarm
much anymore, as we can count on Eliana to wake us up. This failed
once a couple of weeks ago when Eliana - out of nowhere - slept in past
8am on a Sunday. Needless to say that we were late to our 9am church
service that morning.
After Eliana gets up she will have quite an appetite. I've mentioned
her healthy morning appetite before
(see
here). After we make our way downstairs,
I'll open up the fridge and have her grab an egg. Then I'll sit her
down on the kitchen countertop and have her "help" me crack the egg,
"help" me open the egg, and "help" me scramble the egg.
I snapped a picture of here helping this morning:
After her first breakfast (scrambled egg, yogurt or cereal, and orange
juice) at 7am-ish, she will typically have a second breakfast when
Berkeley wakes up (which is around 8-8:30am). For example, this morning
she had a first breakfast in which she consumed a scrambled egg, a
Li'l
Yami Yogurt, a bowl of cereal, and a sippy cup full of orange juice.
For her second breakfast with Berkeley, she had another bowl of cereal
and another glass of OJ. By contrast, Berkeley has eaten a single bite
of yogurt and a few sips of orange juice.
