...this, the third morning in a row that I've woken before Charlie, a quote came to me: "I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing of my children & I think to myself, this is one thing I will never regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long."
(Brian Andreas has a quote for everything, I find).
As a family that struggled with early, early wake times for a looooong time, it is so strange for me to be in the kitchen preparing some breakfast without a little one running around my legs, or finishing a book before the sun comes up.
Today also marks my mom's last radiation treatment. It's going to be a good day. Happy Monday.
i love this.
and you.
and i love the idea of us checking our babies on the monitors at the same ridiculous early time this morning.
xoxoxo.

What an awesome day all round! I wake up to "Mummy, please come and get me". The longer I take (30 seconds later) it turns into "Is anyone there?" Good luck to your Mom.
