Emma Claire is far from a morning person, so we have learned to approach her mornings with routine. It is just best for everyone present (and I have learned this through trial and error) if: Arnold does not sit in the orange highchair in the mornings, if I give her a polka dot spoon, if the Ipad is allowed and if we sort of just give her time to wake up. She, and now Arnold, sit at the end of the island and watch whatever the favorite cartoon of the week may be. Oh, it is also best if Arnold is just far enough away that he can't touch her. Arnold, on the other hand, wakes up with a smile on his face and a pep in his step.
