My Favorite Time

Just after the alarm clock goes off, I finally turn from sleeping on my side to laying flat on my back. I lay there in the dark and poke around on my phone - checking e-mails, catching up with friends, etc - while your dad snoozes next to me waiting for his wake up call.

And nearly every morning, when the house is dark and quiet, you wake up too. You kick and squirm and make your presence known.

This is my favorite time of day with you, Henry. While dad and the cats are sleeping and unaware, you and I wake up together and share a few quiet minutes before the hectic part of the day begins.

I guess you are more of a morning person like me.
