Morning Glory
Miami is so awesome. All three of us are loving every minute of being here. One of the best new things about living in Miami is our mornings. We no longer get up before the rooster even thinks about crowing. We sleep in till a lazy 7:15. Then, as tradition has made it, AJ goes and wakes up Eli and brings him into our bed and we all play for a few minutes.
This is my favorite time of the day. These precious few minutes we all share as family laughing together and passing hugs and "I love you's" are so wonderful. This time is something we couldn't have in DC because we were always too tired and too rushed to get out the door to make the bus on time, to make the metro on time, to get to work on time.
I get so much joy out of watching AJ and Eli sharing this time. They are always exchanging huge smiles and giggles between each other. It is amazing to see how much they love each other. Their bond is growing so strong. Eli's face lights up with joy whenever he even hears his daddy's voice much less sees his handsome face.
Mostly during this morning glory time I just sit back and watch. I get to be with Eli all day so I love to let AJ get this special time with his son. It is amazing to watch their relationship blossom. I can already envision the father/son days out throwing the baseball, swimming in the pool, going for drives, and having long talks together where AJ can impart to Eli some of his wisdom.
Their father/son relationship is so special and so wonderful for a mother to see. This morning glory is one of the most special times for the two of them to be together snuggling and tickling and laughing together. Eli always makes the biggest smiles during this time in the morning- he must love it. He doesn't smile like that at any other time during the day. He loves smiling with his daddy because he loves his daddy, and he certainly has a wonderful daddy- he makes me smile too!!!
