Sunday Mornings

My Sunday mornings used to be spent getting up early and enjoying a café con leche and some pan con matequilla. I like to watch CBS Sunday Morning. My father was usually off on Sundays (unless he was working overtime) and I remember getting up to watch the show with him. I think I liked that they always had all these different suns in varying media displayed throughout the show.

This has always been my quiet time.

Now that Louis wakes up around 6 and Leah is usually up by 7:30 my mornings have changed. I make them breakfast and we spend the morning playing and talking. Sometimes I get a cup of coffee in, usually cold by the time I get to it. I still watch the show but now I do so with Leah. It is actually pretty great. She learns a lot and afterward we look up answers to questions she may have.

It can be frustrating at times, the little time I have to myself but after mornings like today I realize I am trading up.

I snapped some quick pictures of the two of them together. After our breakfast, tv viewing and research on mosquitoes I went to the kitchen to do some much needed cleaning and Leah babysat for the next hour or so. She is amazing with Louis. A great big sister. A great helper for me.
