"I wanna go do work with you."
"I wanna meditate with you."
"Can I watch a show?"
I lay in bed with her and do a few things on my phone. But that feels mindless and less efficient and just like I'm ignoring my daughter.
"Are you sure you don't want to just go and lay in bed with daddy? I was trying to get up before you guys you know."
"Well I just hear feet walking through and then I wake up."
Instead input down my phone, and stare at my Bean's perfect skin and her sweet full lips in the soft morning light. And then we lay "tummy to tummy," and she tells me I have soft skin and "spots" in my belly button (from where it was once pierced).
Mornings can be for Me Time. But they can also be for sweet Mama Time cuddles and breakfast before Daddy wakes up. Well get down some kind of new routine sometime before summer is over.
Ha! We also sleep with Farrah so morning snuggles are my jam. I won't trade them for anything, but my husband is on my back about getting her out of the bed and I always tell him "but the morning snuggles!" :)
