Once Molly came along we no longer had any use for an alarm to go off to wake us up and tell us its time to start the day. Almost to the exact moment our little girl wakes up at 7am crying for us to come get her. She does not sit in her crib and play or talk to herself - she wakes up crying. This is our alarm clock.
So almost every morning I mumble to Allen "honey can you please get her?" and almost every morning he does. Sometimes I am already awake and so I happily walk into her room and pick her up, other times I am in a sleep coma and I stumble into her room looking for a paci to keep her quiet for just a few more minutes. We pull her into the bed with us and snuggle under the covers. I love these moments so very much. This morning as she laid her head on my pillow and grabbed my hand I watched her reach out and touch her daddy's head. He reached up and held her other tiny hand and there she lie, happy as a clam with both parents by her side. After a little while I whispered to her "mommy has to get ready for work" and she shook her head no and pulled my hand closer to her chest. So I told her okay and I snuggled even closer.
I know that these moments will not last forever. So I am going to enjoy them for as long as I can. I know that Molly may not remember them but I plan to store them in my heart forever.
