Good morning?

This morning Daddy got up and went downstairs. I stayed in bed just scrolling through Facebook. John woke up and came in our room. He immediately asked “Where’s Daddy?” I said “First of all, you need to say ‘Good Morning’ when you see someone in the morning. Second, come snuggle me for a minute.” He climbed into bed with me and we snuggled for a minute. He said “Yea, but where’s Daddy?” I told him “Daddy is downstairs. Make sure you say ‘Good Morning’ when you see him.” He asked “Should I wake up Gill?” It was 6:45, and I said “No way. Let her sleep. Some people need more sleep. Please don’t wake her up.” He left me and went downstairs. 

A short while later, Gillian woke up and came into my room. She asked “Where’s John?” Again I said “You need to say ‘Good Morning’ to people when you first see them in the morning time. And come up and snuggle me.” She snuggled for like 5 seconds before she asked again “But where’s John?” I lectured her and said “You need to say ‘Good Morning’ when you see people in the morning time. Don’t worry, your brother is downstairs with Daddy.” She jumped out of my bed and ran downstairs. According to Daddy she ran right past him and didn’t say “Good Morning.” So much for my lecture.
