Cubby's newest favorite activity is looking at the stars and the moon--oh, and Venus, also a favorite--through Grandma's binoculars. Unfortunately, star-gazing requires him to be outside when it's dark. And more to the point, it requires ME to be outside when it's dark.
But only if I can't get A. to go instead.
That's why it is currently 6:20 a.m., pitch black outside, and both of my children are running wild outside under A.'s supervision. At least Cubby is dressed; Charlie is still in his footie pajamas.
Okay, so really they mostly stay in the circle of light cast by the patio light, with occassional forays into the near darkness by Cubby.
Charlie is climbing on a chair. Cubby is chewing on the green part of leek I left out there yesterday when I was prepping some leeks for dinner.
So, one toddler in pajamas climbing a chair and one three-year-old chewing on raw leek greens. In the semi-illuminated dark.
Good morning! It's another fine day at Blackrock!
Hope everyone is learning and enjoying the clear skies!
ReplyDeleteAs for early mornings, I was able to get your sister to the gym at 6am....which is pretty amazing since she is not the morning person. Which I have found that she has in common with Poseidon. He is not a morning dog. He just lies in his little circle with one eye open hoping that he isn’t put outside or that I might give him a treat
Great bonding moments for A. and chitlins. Hope the 6:20 a.m. time means y'all weren't up at the previous 4:30 a.m. ungodly hour. Colds are so special.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a GREAT way to start the day!! Soon there will be snow!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gawd, this is effing hilarious.
ReplyDelete6:30 am is too friggin' early to be doing anything but sleeping under a down comforter!!
