I was up at 5:30 this morning -- unheard of! I am NOT a morning person. If only my days could start at 11AM. I think it's the Abilify that makes me wake up so early and prevents me from going back to sleep. (Yes, I do, in fact, take anti-psychotic drugs. Kids make me that crazy.) Since I was already awake and full of energy, I decided to go for a walk.
As I'm walking out the door, there was loud stomping, tearing down the stairs.
Solomon.
Sigh. Man, I was so close....
"Can I go with you?"
"Sure."
I swear that kid has some kind of Mom-dar built into his brain. He doesn't usually wake up until 7 - 7:30. But any morning I wake up before 6, that kid is up within 15 minutes. I literally get no time to myself.
While I was so looking forward to a nice, quiet walk alone, it turned out to be a lovely time walking in the rain with my little boy. We jammed to Gungor. We talked about the wind and rain. We talked about worms and ants. We talked about God and how powerful he is. We talked about the Big Bang. Sometimes his curiosity irks me due to the approximate 3,439 questions he asks on a daily basis (that's a conservative estimate), it is quite amazing how inquisitive he is. I love that he always wants to know so much. I love even more that he understands so much at the mere age of 5.
He really is the coolest kid I know.
And he'll remember this morning, which is the best part. It's not the big events but the little moments, when you thought you were gonna get a walk to yourself but instead took a stroll with your baby boy, that they hold onto.
