None of us slept well last night, not sure why. I spent some time in Riley's bed to try and get her back to sleep, and I am grateful she is not awake yet this morning. Reese woke up at 5am, and as usual went back to sleep around 6.
As a stay at home mom some of my duties include being up when the kids are up. If I need help from Marc ill ask, but I do not want to disturb his sleep since he has to answer to someone and his job depends on performing well on his duties at work.
I love being there for my girls when they need me. Of course after 3 or 4 times of the tiny cry or the "mommy, I want you" I am a little bummed that my sleep has been disturbed, which is every night, but some nights the calls are more often.... and over the monitor as I am writing, I hear Riley crying... Ill be back...
She's up, she has school today (Tuesday's and Thursday's). My favorite thing about Riley is when she first wakes up. Her face is still sleepy, with wide open blue eyes, puffy air dried lips, her hair tousled like she had been too a party in her sleep, cheeks rosy, the smell of her sweet little morning breath, warm body, and best part of all, her huge good morning hug.
I'd have to say my favorite thing about Reese is the same, when she first wakes up after a deep sleep. Reese is warm too with wide open blue eyes, and has the biggest, gummiest smile in the whole wide world. I love how she stretches to the moon and back and has so much to say like shes been places in her dreams and can't wait to tell me about them. And something about a baby's breath, how it does resemble the flower; sweet, innocent and oh so delicate.
When I sat down to write this morning, I intended to write about a book I just finished.
But, like my life, I got distracted by one of my early bird's, Riley.
