~Mommy Ways~

Never really slept in late-
but the joy was always there,
Now-a-days in mommy ways-
I wouldn’t even dare…

My darling girl is up at dawn-
(ok- really six o’clock)
Oh so ready for breakfast-
When I am oh-so-not!!!

“Ma-ma” now represents-
my morning wake up call,
Threw out my alarm clock-
no need for it at all!!!

Played and bathed-
and fed by nine,
Time for morning nap-
(since we ARE on baby time)…

Settled in next to mom-
(spoiled- she’s in our bed)
lullaby begins to play,
*She rests her little head*

Soft sighs from me-
she’s off to sleep (exhaustedly)
just as I close my eyes-
The phone begins to ring!!!

For my Caiya-love...may we both sleep soon angel!!!

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

you made me smile with the memories--I had two in diapers--and when they both napped at the same time? It was a glory day!

Hugs to you, dear sis! Enjoy every second of it. It's precious time.

You are a very brave woman. I don't know if I'd ever have the patience to do that whole having children thing... Though everyone I know have all but ordered me to have a daughter.

It would take me a year alone to choose a name, though. I'm prob'ly too much of a space-case to ever handle parenthood.

Feel my angsty reachiness!

**wiggles fingers at the darling Caiya** May you never grow to wake up before your child, regret their sleeping and want them to wake.  Mine is 5 now and without school he outsleeps me by at least an hour.  Of course, I'm usually ready for bed long before he is.   Nicely done, mistress D.

Way to go Momma
Don't your really feel special? And needed?
Something really fine about that

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
