What does your LO say/do first thing in the morning?

I really love those first few minutes after I go in DD's room in the morning to get her up for the day. She rolls over, brushes her hair out of her eyes and says "Hiiii mama" in this very slow, sleepy voice.  Then she either sits up and asks me to sit down in the chair next to her crib so she can pass me all of her babies & blankets or she says "Hold you, mama?"  Those have to be the sweetest three words I hear all day.  :)  I pick her up and she rests her little head on my shoulder while I rub her back for a few minutes.

Then, all he!l breaks loose when I try to lay her down to change her diaper and her clothes.

But for those first two minutes, all is right in the world.  :)

  • "Hi Mum" love it.

  • "Hi mom mom" Then she screams "DADDY!!" but he is usually at work.
  • Loading the player...
  • DS says "Downstairs!" because that's where we do most of our playing.

  • DH usually gets him.  We hear quiet 'da da da", and he gets louder, until he yells "Da! Da!" and we know he's ready to get up.  DH gets him, J hugs him, then pulls up and over his shoulder to look down the hallway into our room for me, and he waves.  I love it.

  • If it's me that gets her it's "HI!!!.....Daddy?  Daddy?  Daddy!!!???"

    if it's DH it's "HI!!!!...Mum?"

    Big hugs as she gets out of the crib and down the stairs, then the fun of the day begins.

  • No words yet (speech therapy) but...she smiles super big and claps her hands. Then I take her in our bed and we play and wake up daddy.

  • Those really are the best few minutes. I'll usually wake him up and snuggle for a little bit with him. He likes to give a lot of hugs and kisses. This morning I told DS I had to get up and get ready and he said "I don't want you to go bye-bye, I'll miss you all day." I snuggled with him for a little longer.

  • Juliana always comes in the living room and says, "Hi Mommy, I sleeped GOOD!" and Rosalie just smiles a ton and coos at me.

  • He"wakes" up everything in his bed by throwing them over the side one by one.  He talks about them while he does it.  It's pretty cute!

  • These are such sweet stories. I love it that she wants to hold me. All the other kids I've ever been around always said "uppie" or something like that. DD is a big snuggler. She likes for mommy to hold her...mostly when I'm busy doing things, of course, but I try to appreciate it anyway.

    When H goes in to get her, she says "Hi mama" all sleepily until she looks up and sees him and happily and more excitedly says "Hi Daddy!"  lol.  He's only here when she wakes up on the weekends, so it's a treat.

  • DS is usually up for a bit before I get him. Sometimes he'll start yelling for me. "Mama? Maaaaaaamaaaaa?" So that's adorable. When I walk in and turn his light on he says "Hi Mama" then proceeds to hand me his lovies. "NeeNee... Puppy... P Bear...." Tyen we come to my bed and watch tv while he eats cheerios and drinks milk. Sometimes I snooze.

  • LO wakes up and calls "Mooommmmeeeeee"  or "Mommy are you?" (where are you).

    When I go in he says "Hi Mommy" then "dipa" (diaper).

    While I change him he will either say "Shhhh daddy seeping" or just babble.

    Then he wants either "up" or "down".

    And finally "Elmo oush" (Earth's Best yogurt pouch).

     

     

  • If it's me going in to get her: "Hi Mama" 

    If it's DH going in to get her: "Hi Dada" 

    This is usually followed by picking her stuffed dog up in the crib and saying "Hi Puppy" several times, then tossing him out onto the floor.  She'll then grab the crib rail and jump up and down on the matress or run in circles until whoever is in there picks her up and then she usually says "hug" and "kiss" until she gets enough of that.  While changing her diaper and getting her dressed she's always asking for whichever parent isn't in the room with her and to go down so she can start playing.

    ETA: Yesterday morning while changing her diaper first thing in the morning she informed me "big poo poo" (she hadn't gone in over 24hr) but waited until she got to daycare to go Wink.

  • Do I have the only angry wakeful toddler? Usually in the two seconds it takes to put on my glasses and walk across to his room he is crying (no tears thankfully) and complaining. He doesn't say a lot of words really but he reserves things like "mommy" and "car" until after he's gotten his waffle.

    EDIT: He really is otherwise a happy toddler, he is just an utter grump waking up, maybe it would help if he chose not to wake at such an insanely early hour, sigh

    LOL.  If there's poop involved I get "Poopie.  Diaper change."

     

    Haha cute. 

    Now even if he hasn't pooped, when I open his diaper he says, "Ewww doody!"

  • Over the monitor: "mama, mama, down, peas"

    Walk in his room: throws blanket at me & screams "juice"

  • She usually calls "Ah ah" down the hall. She refuses to say mama so she doesn't call me by name. But She does hug me for about 30 seconds before wanting down. Daddy gets a minute.

  • He either yells, "Momma?!  Momma?! Momma?!" or "Da-deee?!  Da-deee?!  Da-dee?!" from his crib until we come get him.  Then it's usually, "Baby!" when he sees our dog, Spencer.

    Maybe he's tired of waffles.

    Ha! No the waffle is what finally wins me smiles (or whatever the breakfast of the day might be, it was just a waffle today)

    My DS used to be grumpy like that, with actual fits of crying at times.  He has seemed to grow out of it. So, there is hope!

    I get an excited but soft "Mama!" then she leans over and tries to collect her 2 blankies, Mickey pillow pet, and pillow to all go downstairs with her.

    July 4th I was packing for our vacation and C woke up from her nap.  H goes in there and I hear her shouting "MAMA! MAMA! MAMA!" and he goes "Oh you want Mama, ok." and closes her door.  She's quiet for 10 seconds then you hear a very soft "Dayee?".  Then he opens the door and she just keeps yelling Dayee over and over.  It was funny.

    Haha, that's adorable.

  • "HELLO!" As she's jumping up and down in her crib.   Then, "Mama.. I want banana." and "Where Liam??"  and "I want down."

    My girl is straight to business.

    He is all about business.

  • She just yells, "MOMMY!" until someone goes in there to get her. If no one comes fast enough, she starts calling Mia. lol

  • The first thing I hear in the morning is "Mommy? Daddy? I awake! Knock knock! I awake!"

    When I go in, the first thing she asks is "Where Daddy? Daddy working?"

    If DH goes in, it's "Bum? Milk? Cheerios?" No one cares where mommy is.

  • When he first wakes up he says mama? dada? mamaaa? dadaaaa? Then as soon as he sees us he says eat? eat? And sometimes he says poop, which usually means a lovely morning surprise for us.

  • If I wake her up, she kind of flops into my arms and I whisper, "Breakfast?" and she whispers back, "Breakfast.  Muffins?"  and I whisper "Muffins."  Then we walk out of her room hand-in-hand.  It's very sweet.

    However, most of the time she wakes up before me so all I head is her little feet running down the hall while she sobs, "MUFFINS!" as loud as she can.

  • Kinda late to this thread, but oh well! 

    I never get up before her, so I'll hear from my room, "Mommy where are you?", over and over until I get to her.  It's so freaking adorable.  Then when I get into her room she will say, "I need to pick you up."  Meaning that she wants me to pick her up, of course.  I pluck her from her crib and she says, "I want milky, mommy."  

    That is the playbook for almost every morning.  Once milk has been received, her chatter varies and might be about anything at all.

    I can hear him softly talking when he wakes, when he starts yelling "mama" is when I go into his room. He doesn't really talk to me when I get there. He just smiles big and grabs his giraffe, blanket, and sometimes his lovie. He gives me a big hug. We sit and cuddle on the chair looking out his window and say bye to the neighbors if we catch them leaving for work/school. Then he helps me pick out a shirt for him to wear. After he gets dressed, I put him down and he puts all his stuff back in the crib. He kisses his giraffe and says night night before throwing him back in  the crib.

  • DD usually just says Daddy...Daddy and then when she is out scowers the house for him and I have to explain that Daddy is at work.

    But, when it's nap or bedtime she always pats her pillow and says, mama cuddle...it's so sweet and THAT I love.

    OMG can't.stop.laughing.  I apparently need your muffin recipe if they're this amazing.

    lol, you're giving me way too much credit.  She eats those awful Entenmanns mini-muffins practically every morning.  She loves that shiit.  HFCS and preservatives FTW!

    <3  So cute.

  • I am usually at work when DS wakes up, but if DH and I are both home we go in there and talk to him in his crib... he hands me one of his stuffed animals, hands DH one of his animals, and then keeps the third one for himself. :) And then he talks to either the dog or cat that follows us into his room.

  • During the week, he normally wakes up while I'm in the middle of getting ready, so he just hangs out in his crib until I'm done -- about 15 minutes or so. He will eventually start saying "Momma, where are you?" then moves on to "Charlie (the dog), where are you?" and then "(My first name), where are you?"

    When I do go in there, he's still laying down covered up, and then pretends to be asleep until I tickle him.

  • He either pops up out of the crib and goes "mama? mama?" or lays there with his butt up quietly while I rub his back. :)

  • If she wakes up on her own (usually only on the weekends), she'll curl up next to me in bed and say "Hiiiii mama!" while she pats my head. If we have to wake her up, (usually every week day) it's a chorus of "NOOOOOO!!!!" She is NOT a morning person.
