I heard Gabriel in his crib at 6 am this morning. He went to bed at 7 last night so I knew he was ready to get up. I reluctantly headed for the nursery as we are in a full-on blizzard here (10 inches already) and this morning, of all mornings, would be the perfect day to sleep in.
As I am headed back out of the nursery, Gabe in tow, Madeline (also known as my angel and you'll see why in a second) appears out of nowhere and says, "Mom, I can take him so you can go and sleep some more."
Could it be true? Am I still dreaming? Do I really have a child that is old enough for this?
(This inner dialogue came later in the morning.... much later....and after I handed Gabbers off like the Olympic torch and dove back under the covers).
Ahhhhhh, Ron and I got to sleep in for a bit.....reminding us of BK (before kids).
