Early

November 21, 2010 by Elaine

There are two times when I know my children will be quiet.

When they are sleeping.

And when they are eating dessert.

They get a lot of dessert.

And a fair amount of sleep…


This morning Little G got up to take a tinkle at 5:34 according to the clock in our bedroom.

Afterward he climbed in bed with me.

{Tim was asleep on the sofa after going to see the late show of the new Harry Potter movie.}

Once I pulled the covers over us we fell back asleep.

Until the sunlight through the window woke me.

I looked over and saw his sweet “still-baby-to-me” face

And a somewhat worn off temporary tatoo on his arm that he’d gotten at a birthday party last weekend.

My little tattooed boy.

I listened to his breath and counted my lucky stars to be lying next to such a sweet soul {although he has his moments…}

Not too long after I heard his big brother go to the bathroom

And then soon after that I could hear sweet little girl noises coming from their sister’s room.

Within the hour she’d had her morning milk,


The B Man was consuming his breakfast

And Little G was walking sleepy-eyed into the kitchen asking for me to hold him.

The kitchen was all aflutter with morning happenings.

And I thought…

Time for DESSERT!

😉

I love these kids…

    If mine are quiet then they are asleep, but I have one that isn’t always quiet then.

    I love it when they climb into bed with you and actually go back to sleep instead of trying to wake you up!

    My kids are so cute (and quiet) when they are asleep…. and perhaps I should be feeding them more dessert to get more peace and quiet!

    They are cuties. And good thing too, because I’m sure they don’t eat dessert or sleep nearly often enough.

    Haha! Perfect! I love this post. Life with kids is full of so many unbelieveably sweet moments, but it is still so exhausting. 😉 hehe
