Good Morning Christohper!

Every morning Christopher comes into our room around 6 or 6:30 am. He usually stands at the door and asks if he can come snuggle. When we say yes, he bounds into the room and climbs in right in the middle. Usually closer to Matt (Daddy is king right now). I love the days when Matt has to get up first, usually Tuesdays and Fridays. I get to lay in bed for a little while and listen to Christopher's joyful and relentless chatter from the bathroom. No joke, the kid will announce the play by play of Matt getting ready for no less than 30 minutes. Every fifteen minutes or so, he'll come bounding back to bed and ask me if it's time to make coffee yet.

Christopher has a very strict morning inquiry routine:

- Can I come snuggle?
- Is there a paper outside today?
- Let me go check.
- Mommy, do you want to get up, brush your teeth, put on your sweatshirt and slippers, and go make coffee? (Am I a creature of habit or what?)
- Daddy, after you shower, are you going to shave today? Do you need your deoderant next? Can I help you with your aftershave? Can I pick out your shoes? Do you need help with your belt?
- Daddy, Mommy and I will go make coffee. You come down when you are ready.

I'm sure you get the idea. Happy as can be. Happy to announce the happenings of the morning. Really excited to get to breakfast. It's like he's checking things off his mental list of things that have to happen before he gets breakfast. We'll do it again tomorrow.
