Wake Up Call

Summer is a glorious thing. 10+ weeks of not waking up to an alarm -- or at least, not waking up to a mechanical alarm. We have one of another sort around here. Recently, Autumn has started referring to Brian not as Daddy, but as "Brine". This morning when she woke up, rather than her usual whining and yelling nonsense from her crib, we hear over and over again from her room, "Brine! Brine! Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!! Morning!" Since Brine had to shower and get ready for the day, she got boring Mommy instead. It's hard to resent a wake up call when it's made by this face...

And this face...she hates the flash. "Mommy, sun! Eyes!"
