Quiet Mornings

Listening to my husbands alarm going off, he scoots from our bed and I try to pretend it's not morning yet. He collects our baby girl from the cot where she is chattering away and tucks her in bed next to me. I open an eye and she giggles at me. It's like she knows it's early and I don't want to get out of bed. I hoped she would snuggle and fall back asleep but alas, it's time for chatting and blowing raspberries. I give her a cuddle and slip her back in the cot with a scrunchy sounding butterfly toy while I get her milk ready, rub the sleep from my eyes and kiss my husband before he leaves for work. Time to start another day!
