We had earlier decided if they woke up during the night, we would put them back to sleep in their own beds. Our reasoning was based on them waking each other up, not due to it being quiet, but we did it anyway. As Mandy was leading Elliot back to bed, I heard him say, "I want Noah to put me to bed."
Despite being up for about an hour during the night, Noah woke up super early and couldn't be convinced to go back to sleep. I decided to take him to Starbucks to help keep the rest of the house asleep. The Plaza Art Fair was going on, so the streets were all blocked off and artist tents were everywhere, and we had to park a couple blocks away. It was 46 degrees outside, so by the time we got there, Noah decided he wanted hot chocolate.
Crack of dawn visits to this 'bucks were pretty routine back when Elliot was little and waking up so early all the time. It's probably been a year since I came in that regularly, but the guy behind the counter remembered me enough to mention that I hadn't been there in awhile, and to ask where Elliot was.
Afterwards, we walked around the Plaza a bit, and over to Brush Creek to see the sunrise. We'll both need naps later.
