What I am thankful for today might seem minor to some of you but it is something that everyday I am thankful for but it took me a while to truly appreciate it. You see since Lil Hoff has been born I have been getting up at a outrageous time just to give myself enough time to get ready before he woke up. The system worked pretty well but now as I am writing this I can't even remember what I did once he woke up. I don't really remember playing or holding but whatever it was I was there for Lil Hoff's undivided attention. But slowly he has been waking up earlier and not needing me so much. Not needing the arms of momma first thing in the morning, not needing me to feed him first thing, not needing to be rocked ack to sleep. No, nothing. All he needs is his milk and Mick (Mickey Mouse).
So on one hand I'm am very excited that he has moved onto this new stage but on the other part of me misses watching him in his bouncy seat on my bed as he sleeps peacefully and I finish getting ready.
Those days he is right there with me and that is what I am thankful for. For the small milestones and the independence that each day brings so that now I can finish getting ready and trust him to play by himself (but always keep a ear open of what he could possibly be getting into.
