Early Riser

I miss my little boy who would sleep until 7:30-8:00 in the morning. Carson has become quite the early riser lately, waking up between 5:30-6:00 am now. I know people get up that early all the time, but if you know me, you know I am not a morning person. I am the one who slept until noon on the weekends in high school. I am the one who scheduled all my college classes past a certain time in the morning. Lack of sleep has been one of my biggest hurdles to overcome.

The other morning, I hear the pitter-patter of Carson's little footsteps coming towards our room. He came in yelling "mama" and tugging at my arm until he knew I was up, and then he ran towards the kitchen because that is always his second stop after our bedroom. I was taking my sweet time getting out of bed, and the whole time I hear him yelling, "mama, mama, mom, mum, ma, mama." And then out of the blue, I hear, "mom, where are you!" as clear as day. Jason and I just looked at each other and started cracking up.
