I was woken up this morning by a teeny, tiny voice saying “Mommy, is it time to get up?”. I replied, “No, Ivy. It’s night time. Go back to sleep.” We go through this routine every day that is a sleep in day. Ivy wants up and I want just a few more minutes of precious, precious sleep. She persisted though and I finally opened my eyes. My room was filled with a pinkish orange glow. I turned to my other side and looked out the window and there was one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen. The sky was filled with pink, orange and yellow and looked so warm and cozy even though I knew that what was outside my window was anything but warm and cozy. Ivy persisted and I finally caved because all I could think was “I have to catch this sunrise on my camera before it goes away. This would be perfect for today’s blog post.” So, as reluctant as I was to wake up at dawn on a Saturday I was equally as excited about catching this perfect sunrise for the blog. I jumped up and told Ivy she could watch tv for a few minutes. The next series of questions went something like this….
Ivy: Mommy, can you cover me up?
Me: Sure, Ivy.
Ivy: Mommy, can you change it to Miffy?
Me: Yes, Ivy. Give me just a minute.
Ivy: Mommy, can I wear my big girl panties?
Me: Yes, Ivy. Just a minute though, ok? Let me finish finding Miffy.
I help Ivy get on her big girl panties
Me: Ivy, do you need to go potty before we watch tv?
Ivy: No.
I start getting my camera ready
Ivy: Mommy, I have to go potty.
Me: Ivy, why didn’t you tell me a minute ago when I asked?
As I was waiting on Ivy to go potty, I looked out the window and the sky was now a dismal gray color. No bright pinks, no warm oranges and yellows. Definitely not “picture of the day” worthy. Oh well. Not quite what I had in mind, but lucky for me, I have the sweetest little sunshine right in my own house to wake me up…
Oh, and all of the fun little faces of my sunshine (don’t mind the bed head…we were having fun so it doesn’t count)…
