Christopher usually sneaks into bed with us somewhere between midnight and 7am.  Some parents discourage this, but given our situation, we enjoy any chance to bond with him.  The other morning, Jennifer had already woken up and was showering.  Christopher jumps in bed with me sometime after 7:30.  He realized Jennifer was not there, looked at me and said, “Sorry, I’m late.”  He gave me a kiss and off he went to the family room.  I couldn’t help but laugh out loud and know the day was going to be great.

This morning, it was about 7:20 and Jennifer was just waking up.  I was still sleeping and didn’t hear any of this.  Apparently, Christopher comes in our room and says to Jennifer, “Oh good, I made it!”  He snuggles for about 5 minutes and asks if he can wake up now.  Off he goes to the bathroom.
