I love "Firsts"

Every weekend morning Ahbie has assumed the responsibility of waking Daddy and I up. No, in our house sleeping in is definately NOT an option. However, if I have to wake up early I love that it is to the smiling, bright-eyed little Ahbie that has captured my heart.

On Saturday Ahbie wakes us, and he is fully clothed, as he always is first thing in the morning. He wont come out of hs room unless he is dressed for the day. So on this particular Saturday morning Daddy asked him why he was dressed already, and told him it was OK to wear his pj's, that he didn't have to dress first thing in the morning. Then the game of tickle bug ensued and clothing was no longer the topic of conversation.

On Sunday, like clock-work, I hear the door to my bedroom open, little feet scurrying over to the bed, and then feel the warm breath of my little Ethiopian on my face..I open my eyes and smile, Ahbie tells me "good morning sleepy-head my precious" ahhh, heart melting...And then I notice, he is not in his clothes for the day, he is in his pj's...My little man seemingly indifferent to daddy's words yesterday really was listening...So he climbed under the covers and we cuddled up, mommy in her pj's and Ahbie in his.....This is our first morning pj cuddle session.....I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a Mommy, there is nothing better.....
