on whining and sleeping in

Saturday morning, Justin's turn:

Juma wakes up at 6:30 and calls out "Dad!" from his bedroom. Justin tells him he can get out of bed, turn on the light, and play quietly in his room until 7.

He does so.

At 7, he calls Justin again. Justin tells him, "Okay, go pee, then get dressed."

He does so. He walks up to Justin and says, "I didn't even whine!"

Sarah sleeps in.


Sunday morning, Sarah's turn:

Juma wakes up at 7:15 and calls out "Mom!" I call from the living room couch, where I slept because I was coughing all night, "Okay, go pee, then get dressed."

Juma starts to whine and continues whining for an hour. "I don't want to get dressed! I don't like to get dressed! I need help! Come with me! I don't know if the shirt is backwards! I hate putting on my pants!" Finally, after 8, he gets dressed and acts like nothing happened.

Justin tries to sleep in.
