Morning ritual

We love mornings here at our house. John and I aren't usually morning people- we love to sleep in. For most of our marriage, we haven't gotten up together in the mornings, even though we know from the few months that we have done it that we love that time together. Now that Charlie has joined the Team, we have a little squirmy alarm clock that gets us up and we love it. Charlie is so cute in the mornings. He always gives the biggest grins and coos and s-t-r-e-c-h-e-s, which are the best incentive to actually get up! (It doesn't hurt at all that Charlie wakes up early but will nurse and go right back to sleep- so we can all sleep in a little.)

Johnny has started taking piano lessons again and he usually does his practicing in the morning with Charlie on his lap. It is so cute to see them spend that time together! (John calls it "Daddy-Che time"). Charlie is fascinated by the sound and by watching John's hands on the keys. (I'm convinced it will make him a prodigy!)
