Morning Hug

Dear Sawyer,

You and your siblings each have a different way of waking up in the morning. GuhGaw pops out of bed (sometimes as early as 5am, uugggghhh), ready to take on the day at 100mph. JieJie likes to sleep in (God bless her) and gradually climb out of bed. And then there's you, my baby: You roll around for a bit and then slide off the bed and groggily walk toward the door. When you see me, you smile a still-half-asleep drowsy smile and hold your arms out toward me. When I kneel down to hug you, you wrap your arms around me and climb on me so that I'll pick you up. Once I stand up with you in my arms, you rest your head on my shoulder and hug me for a minute before you point toward the hallway, indicating to me that you are ready to get out of the room and start your day. I love our morning ritual :-)

Love,
Mom
