Each morning, it’s the same. Micah and I hear Scout’s running feet, and we scramble to fake sleep if we aren’t already sleeping. Scout comes in and announces his arrival by either kissing me all over my face, immediately jumping in the covers with both of us, or blindsiding dad with a wrestling move. We hang out with him for about 30 minutes until we hear Icka stirring upstairs. I used to always go and get her, but lately I let Scout get her. Then about five minutes later, we hear Scout encouraging her to go down the stairs. A minute later, we see Scout run in first, and Icka follows shortly behind. She always has the biggest smile and her “DayDay” (blanket). She hops on the bed, and cuddles with me. And then she offers her “Good morning Daddy/Mommy/Gout”.
Notice the shirtless duo. Both of my kids are just like me and love to be freezing when they sleep. Scout is always content in his unders, and Sissy obviously is content in just a pair of shorts.
Here is a little morning love for a baggy-eyed dad.
