One more way to say it

When Paloma awakes in the morning, she often calls from her crib. She's never tried to climb out of it. Someone is usually happy to scoop her up.

Sometimes one of us will go in to find her having a conversation with one of her many dolls.

But usually, as soon as she is up, she can't wait to go to wake up the kids.

And yes, I'm an English teacher, and yes, I know that's not the proper English.

But I still enjoyed a new way Paloma found to say this one morning:

"Carmen's not wake-upping!"
