Morning Time

Morning time is my favorite time of day.  If my husband is reading this, he is laughing hysterically because I am not a morning person.  Not an early, early morning person. At all.  But my child has not slept past 6:15 AM, um...... ever, so I am getting used to it.  I don't think I will ever be used to 5 AM however. 

Anyway, P-man is up like clockwork. 5:45 to 6:15 every morning.  Neil always goes to get him and he plops in bed with us to drink his morning milk.  We giggle, whisper and give big love, smooches and snuggles as we (ok mom) wakes the rest of the way up.  Sometimes we put on Nick Jr. for Porter and we all watch 15 min together. We do this every.single.morning.  Weekend or not.  Usually longer on the weekends.  Sometimes we all stay in bed an extra hour together and Porter will jibber jabber to us, show us his toys, run around our bed.  Sometimes we fall back asleep for a 10 minute snooze.  Either way, it is my favorite.  It is the best way for this girl to wake up.  I don't remember the last time I set an alarm clock.  No need really.  If my child happens to sleep till 7, I'll take the sleep and be late to work.  That is like Christmas.

I was telling Neil this morning how much I loved my family and how I love that we have grown to do that every AM and I hope we always do, even as more kids come and our king size bed fills up.  I hope sleepy smiling  faces, bed head, sock covered feet shuffle into our bedroom in the AM for some love and comfort.  That they know they don't have to run head first into the day just yet. It is a good way to start off, all together, all love, all snuggles.  I am hoping it stays as constant and necessary as breakfast.  I hope I can start my families days off with thoughts of how blessed we are. It is amazing what 5-15 minutes of being with the people you love the very most, at the very beginning can sets the whole day on the right path. We all get to start off our day with the same thought..... You are loved more than you will ever know.
