Good Morning!

A wiggle of the head and a squinting of the eyes; "It's morning!"  How about a good stretch before the games break loose, a lift of the legs and a long, slow arching of my back.  I'm off... kick, kick, kick, flailing of the arms, kicking incessantly, and an intermingling of baby talk. 

"If only I could last all morning, oh but my eyes are getting sooo heavy."  Then begins the sucking of the thumb, and the inevitable happens.  A morning doze.

"Am I dreaming?  Oh, nope, I feel something."  Eyes slit open and brows crease before another long stretch.  "It's mommy!  I know that face and voice.  Yeah!!!  It's time for breakfast."  Lifting my legs to help, that diaper's been on way too long.  "Yuck!"

Nothing like being clean, full, and a good cuddle... but that patting is going to put me to sleep again.  "Oops, there goes a burp."  Buddies, I missed my lambie and elephant blankies!  "Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, I LOVE play time."  A slow big smile emerges and off to the races again, but this time with her pals.  Kick, kick, kick, flail, flail, flail.
