If I wake Up Early
If I wake up early I can be quiet so I don't wake up others.
Sometimes I wake up early and everyone else is still sleeping. It is important that I stay quiet so I do not wake up anyone.
If I wake up early I can close my eyes and go back to sleep. Sometimes I can't go back to sleep. If this happens I can stay in bed and do a quiet activity. I can:
read a book
do some drawing
play a quiet game
I can stay quiet until I hear that other people are up. If I wake someone up they may be cross with me.
