Shad has been taking Reilly to school for the past few months which means Kate and I can have our “quality bonding” time in the mornings. The past couple mornings I have tried to get her to lay in bed just a “little longer”. Verbally she’ll commit, but as soon as she lies down she says “I need juice” and I say that I’ll get it in a minute – to which she then replies “and dinner – I need dinner now too.”

We don’t last more than about 20 minutes b/c the demands just keep coming and it defeats the purpose of trying to get an extra few minutes.
