So, Zeke has been getting out of bed at 6 or 6:30 in the morning lately, so Tami had an idea that she heard from somewhere to buy a clock, pull the minute and second hands off, and color the clock a certain color (in our case, red) around the time you want your child to get out of bed. So, we colored the clock from the 7 to the 8 and told Zeke to get out of bed when the clock gets to the red. While we were coloring the clock, Zeke pointed to the 5 and 6 area, and said, "We need to color here, too." I'm not sure he realized what he was asking or if he just wanted to color some more, but it was pretty funny. Then, when it was bedtime, we explained again about the clock and said our nightly prayers. Zeke prayed and thanked God for the red clock. When we finished praying, he said, "I pray the clock get in the red." He's pretty cute.
Earlier that day, Zeke closed his finger in the cabinet door and started crying like it hurt really bad. Dan kissed his finger and Zeke said, "That not make it feel better." Tami said, "Do we need to take you to the doctor?" Zeke answered, "No Mommy, doctor not make it better, God make it better." Anyway, we've got a cute boy and though he can throw some fits these days, he's really sweet and we're grateful for him.

That's my boy!
That clock idea is a fantastic one.I wish I had had one when his daddy was his age. Dan, you do know that this is payback. You used to get up by 5am everyday when you were his age.
