I felt his tiny, warm body sneak under the covers next to me. He settled in the crook of my arm and pulled my hand around his waist. He purred a simple contented sigh. We lay there for a few silent moments, enjoying the sound of each other's breath.
Mama? When will it be time to get up?
In a bit sweetie. It's a family day so we can stay in bed as long as we want. (I said hoping to stay in our warm nest the whole day...)
Another minute or two of rhythmic breathing passes. Then...
Mama? Can we get up now?
But why Goose? We don't have to go to school today. We don't have anywhere we need to be.
But Mama, there's so much excitement in the world! So many places to go and things to do. Can we please get up now?
Of course Lovey. Of course we can get up.

Dane stands in his crib at 5am rocking it back and forth screaming, Mumma, OATMEAL!!!!!
My daughter's enthusiasm for life is contagious. I sometimes fear that I won't be able to get out of bed without her urging...and jumping...and squealing.
Oh, so sweet. :) Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
oh so beautiful ... [said dabbing my eyes a little].
Those stolen moments...
That is so precious. We need to all make books of little conversations like this. What beautiful memories.
Deliscious!
sweet boy.
One of my favorite ways to wake up too...just gorgeous.
Awwwww, precious.
That would definitely get me up!
How could you resist??? I like Freckle's idea about the book, too!
Also, nice job on the pineapple guess! I linked to you!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could get up everyday and see the world in such a way.
What a lesson learned!
