Sometimes I get SO impatient to get Scout out of bed. Last night, I woke up at 3:00am and was debating on if I should go and get him. I knew that one would backfire…so I didn’t, but this morning I was so excited to get him. I wanted to document his first hour every morning….
He always looks well rested when I get him. He has had a habit of reading a few books, or blowing on his whistle for a good while before he lets me know he wants out. This morning, he was totally confused because instead of running in and grabbing him, I snapped a photo. Look at those kissable lips!
We are immediately off to breakfast where he usually gets his favorite — oatmeal with special sprinkles (cinnamon and a tiny pinch of brown sugar). I put in the brown sugar just so I can con him on the first bite in case he isn’t interested in eating oatmeal that morning. It almost always does the trick. If it doesn’t, I tell him it is Dada’s favorite cereal….and if that doesn’t work, I make Micah take a bite to prove it (if he’s around), and that is about 100% effective.
He always has to down it with a ton of milk. I LOVE water, but my mom’s words of wisdom told me that mlik will do his body good. She is probably right, since the doctor’s are always amazed at what good bones she has.
Then it is off to read thousands of books, play with toys and take a bath with “bubbles”. It’s one of the best hours of the day!
