I want to remember… heading straight to the coffee pot after a difficult night with TJ. After chugging down a cup, I felt ready to take on the day. M and I made breakfast for the crew; I was in charge of the bacon, biscuits and fruit and he made the scrambled eggs.
I want to remember… our current routine of easy-going mornings. We meet for breakfast and then go our separate ways throughout the house for an hour. During this time, there is Lego building, reading and lots of imaginary play. The house is calm and I’m able to enjoy my second cup of coffee, check in on Big White Farmhouse and get prepared for the school day.
I want to remember… how much TJ loves the window and hiding behind the dining room curtains. If we can’t find him, he’s typically sitting there happily, waiting for someone to find him.
I want to remember… Sophie’s gentle reminders to spend a little one-on-one time together. With school back in our days, I’m not as readily available to play with her, but we’re figuring a way to fit it in. Today she pulled out Jenga and said, “You help me make this, Mamma, so we can play?”
I want to remember… that my daily T25 workout is a family affair. M hasn’t missed a single workout and I love that we are finding a new way to bond with exercise. Sophie watches the videos and pops in here and there too. At the end, we do our secret handshake and make protein shakes.
I want to remember… picnic lunches in the tray while watching Lego Movie, one of their favorites. Hearing Sophie bashfully sing “Everything is Awesome” is one of my favorites.
