This morning, Martin got up very early to go on a business trip and somehow Jake messed up his alarm so the kids came tumbling into bed with me at 5:30. Even with that early start to our day, it was a great morning. I was aware of and grateful for these things today:
- the kids still want to snuggle with me
- Jake will reach out with his feet until he finds my legs so that we're touching when we're lying in bed together -- I love that physical connection
- Sydney still snuggles with her 'Buddy' and sucks her thumb (although now she hides both if she's anywhere but home with her family); she's been doing this since she got Buddy when she turned 1 and I have many memories of her like this all snuggled up and sleepy
- Jake, in his exuberance, will forget to be cool and will yell 'Love you too Mom!!' as he runs down the sidewalk to school - this might be the last year for that and I love it!
Anyway, that's it for today, was just what was on my mind...
