Engine Cannot Start
Every morning I have difficulty starting the engine. It cried a little and fall back to sleep. No matter how I kick start it, it falls back to sleep. It takes more than 30 minutes just to get it move a little.
What am I talking about? I am talking about starting Emily’s engine, waking her up in the morning and preparing her for school. It is getting tougher and tougher. Initially I get the swimming pool in the bathroom to wake her up. She wakes up immediately knowing she can play with water. She feels refresh after a bath.
This week she pays no attention to the swimming pool. How ah? I run out of ideas. Nope TV doesn’t work either.
My hubby and I make sure she sleeps by 9:30pm but it doesn’t helps. I am running out of tricks. Well, I hope I can tolerate for 1.5 weeks before holidays start.

Emily can really sleep like a log!! I’m really surprised that Emily likes to have a dip in the morning when it’s a little chilly. None of my kids like that chilly water in the morning. I’m curious to know what is the engine starter. Your new treadmill? Or her favorite food? Quick tell us!

It is those play pool, I put warm water in the pool so it is not chilly.
