Morning person

I forgot what kind of morning person I am until recently. I have always loved mornings. During my work days at ADM, I loved getting up and going to work early - I was always the bright-eyed, happy person who didn't need coffee (most days) and also the person that the non-morning people wanted to smack for being so chipper. Since staying home with the kids I have been fortunate enough to not see getting up before 7 often, until recently. Collin has chosen 6:30-7:00 as his wake up time this week and at first I was crabby about being up so early, but I've grown to appreciate it. I actually enjoy being up again - yes, this is the sleep-loving momma talking-but, really it is great to have the one-on-one time with my littlest guy and some time to myself before the day kicks into high gear. Parker runs at one speed anymore - fast! - he's turning 3 in a few weeks and I can already tell that this next year is going to bring all kinds of new challenges and adventures. So here's to mornings again! Both the boys are up now so it's time to get off the computer and start the day!
