Yes, it’s Monday morning but

How lucky are we

How lucky are we to wake up in this warm cozy bed

Under this pile of warm cozy covers

His warm little spiderman pajama body next to mine

I kiss the top of his pudgey little boy hand

Which i can only get away with when he’s in this slumber

Soon we’ll have to crawl out of our cocoon

Soon he’ll be back across the street in school

But for now

We’ll drink in every second of right where we are

I don’t take pictures of him sleeping as much as i used to, this was beginning of December when he had a stomach bug, hence the towels lol

Dear CJ,

I just read your post, and it truly resonated with me. The way you captured the warmth of those morning moments is beautiful! It reminded me of similar times with my own kids. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt piece.

Best regards, Joseph

I lovvvee this. I am at this phase where I wake up with my toddlers sleeping beside me every single day. I know they are still toddlers but the thought of them going to school one day always makes me sad because I imagine they may not want to cuddle with me anymore 😭😭
