How To: Sleep in on Christmas Day (When you have a Toddler)

1. Get woken up by Toddler at 4am (who wants a bottle)
2. Tell Toddler "Ok, you stay here in bed and I'll bring it to you" (as if that ever worked)
3. Crack up laughing as Toddler zooms out of his room and into the kitchen (going so fast that it can only be by the star power from his new pjs)
4. Follow Toddler into the kitchen and make up bottle
5. Toddler pops into the lounge and says Trusty Grandpa's Christmas Stocking that Santa left behind
6. Toddler says "WOW!" and goes to open the stocking
7. Give Toddler their bottle and tell them that the stocking is Grandpa's
8. Toddler puts stocking back and goes back to bed with bottle (doesn't even see the other three Christmas stockings!)
9. Wake up naturally at 8am, check on Toddler who is still asleep
10. Quickly get dressed and make first coffee of the day
