You wake up the same way you live your life: chipper and ready for almost anything. You roll over, take one deep breath, and sit straight up. Within two minutes of waking up you are out of bed, completely dressed, and headed downstairs to start your guaranteed to be cheerful day. You’re easy and independent and sometimes I forget to soak you up in the morning because outwardly, your soon-to-be 8-year-old-self needs me less. Adam You wake up in a way that no one who knows you during daylight hours would anticipate: grumpy and lethargic. Your run-on-six-cylinder personality doesn’t show up until about an hour after you’ve woken. Our first ten minutes are always spent with me trying to tease you awake, attempting to get you dressed and out of bed without poking the bear that is lurking under your sleepy demeanor. You’re stormy and bristle at any morning humor and sometimes I forget that you’re just five and aren’t out to intentionally sabotage the start of my own day. Lucas You wake up a different character every day: some days I open the door to bubbling chatter, others to a slumbering snore, still others to a crotchety scowl. Will you immediately pass me your blanket? Will you writhe in anger when I touch your pj zipper? Will you pretend to hide and play hard to get in your crib? No one knows. One thing is for sure: everyone knows you’re the one who can bring the morning to a screeching halt, for there’s nothing in the world like an almost two-year old who refuses to eat breakfast. You’re precious and unpredictable and sometimes I wish that our mornings were less rushed so I could soak up the many facets of YOU.
