Normally I start my day being awakened by the sound of a crying baby who is READY TO EAT! Now! And that's ok ... it's my job & my privilege as her mother.
And for the first time that I can remember, this girl woke up HAPPY! Not that she doesn't usually wake up happy - but the hunger usually takes over & she wakes up crying.
But this morning, I listened to her little coos and aaaaaaahs for at least 10 minutes as I came out of my sleepy fog. Finally, I got up & went over to see my baby girl - and she gave me the biggest SMILE. :) Happy to see me, I guess.
I put her on my bed, and she continued to "talk" and do her own form of morning exercises, kicking her legs and pumping her arms.
I don't know what made the difference ... perhaps her medicine for the double ear infection has made her feel so much better or perhaps she was still satisfied from the feeding a few hours before ... but in any case, what a GREAT way to wake up! Especially since I'm not a morning person, it is much easier to be lured out of bed by a babbling baby than to be forced out by a screaming one! :)
Dan is at work this morning (and I'll be joining him shortly); it's the last day this week that he has to go in to work during Spring Break. So my older 2 kids came in to join us in my room. I love starting my day calmly and pleasantly - not rushing around, yelling at everyone to "GET READY - BRUSH YOUR HAIR - EAT!!" so they can get out the door to school. I love happy, chattering kids with sleepy faces, talking about plans for the day and the rest of the week. No rush, no hurry - me with a warm cup of coffee, playing on the computer a few minutes just because I can.
I guess it is good that not every day is like this or else I might not appreciate it as much ... but today, I am certainly enjoying being a MORNING PERSON for once. :)

You have the cutest kids ever! I loved waking up to those baby sounds too... not the crying kind. We have been having wonderful weather here for the past 2 days and my yard had turned into a field of mud. I hope that all this warm will dry it out soon, though they are already talking about more snow :(
I should know better than hope for summer so soon... winter is far from past for us.
Hope you are all feeling much better soon!
God Bless,
Mrs. D
