Mornings

Sam hates getting up in the morning, except for at weekends when he generally bounces out of bed.  After some weeks of shouting and wailing I hit upon the idea of setting my alarm and sneaking it into his room each morning.  Now he gets up and takes it into Claire so she can make it shut up, by which time he’s at least half-awake.  Naturally he’s still quite able to whine, but it’s certainly cut down a lot on his previous complaining.
