Mornings

I love mornings.

I never used to be a morning person. I loved to sleep in and forget morning was ever a time of day. I do remember as a kid, every now and then waking up early. I did like the feeling of being up before the "rest of the world".

There really is something to morning. In the summer, it's so nice and cool. Birds are always chirping and there seems to be a song to morning. Take a few minutes to sit on your deck or porch in the 6 o'clock hour, and just listen. You will hear it.

Lately, Nathan's routine has been to wake around 5ish take a bottle and go back to sleep until 8ish.

I love the 2-3 hours in between. Don't get me wrong, I love when he is awake. But for the most part, this is Mommy Time. I have my coffee, catch up the goings on of the day, read blog and listen to the song of the morning. Now that this is a norm, I am also going to be setting aside time with God during this time.

Somehow, being up early makes my day seem more full.

Oh how I hope Nathan keeps this routine, for a while at least.
