Why wait for sunrise?

Matthias decided to capitalize on our one on one time we've been blessed with lately and get started at 5:30am. Why wait? We started our morning with a rousing game of climb on the sleeping mom. We considered taking turns, but Matthias is such a great climber and I am an excellent sleeping mom. Next Matthias had a bath to remove the dirt and marshmellow.

Then we moved on to breakfast. We threw a roast in the crockpot and started some rolls. Matthias then proceeded to take laps around the room (for those of you familiar with our home you can picture this, for those of you not it is basically a small track with a counter and couch in the middle instead of a football field). Most of the time he was pulling his wooden wagon from dad with his animals in it. But sometimes he would leave the wagon behind and just run. Every now and then he paused to wave as he ran by and occasionally he would stop to give me a kiss and then keep moving. He did this for 30 minutes! It was hilarious.

By this time it was 9:00 and we needed to play doctor and nurse again. So we took medicine and food to our patients. It was such a fun morning bonding with my little Matt.
