Yesterday morning I awoke like clockwork at 7:30 am. My internal Mama clock telling me it's time to get up, play with Max and have breakfast with him. Except that yesterday morning he was at his grandfather's house sleeping in. And there I was laying awake unable to sleep again.
This morning, I awoke to Max snuggling next to me sucking his thumb waiting for me to wake up. He's learned to be gentle waking up Mama and Daddy in the mornings. I can tell he's getting impatient and wants me to get up. He starts giving me kisses on my belly (really zerberts) and that says to me no-more-sleeping-mama!!!
We trek downstairs and have breakfast at the kitchen table. Sitting together slurping our milk from our cereal bowls I realize that I wouldn't change anything in my life right at this moment.
As I type this blog entry, Max has fished out our old Lite Brite from the floor (whose light bulb has long burnt out) and has pulled out the pegs by color and announcing them to me as I type. In this moment he seems so big to me. As much as I wouldn't change this moment, time is sweeping our lives and changing us faster than we can see.
Chucky Larms!!! Woot! It's a girl-baby thing, isn't it? ;-)
This post makes me happy. Can Max teach Rowan the gentle wake up thing?

Lucky Charms is a baby girl thing. I usually don't like cereals like this. But I can't get enough of this crappy cereal! Even Max doesn't like it.

It's fascinating how when you look back at this very moment several years from now you'll probably be thinking how he was so small.

Wow, a light bright! Yes, time marches on. I'm told we must enjoy it while we can and I try, I really do. Mornings are just chaos at my house:)
