I’m excited to say that I finally wake up in the morning and read the Skimm again! It’s been nine months.
In the beginning, after Cash was born, I’d wake up and feed him first thing in the morning. When Colin went back to work, I allocated 15 minutes of time before he left to brush my teeth, go to the bathroom, and grab a cup of coffee before feeding a baby. Eventually we moved on to different breakfast routines, and to morning diaper routines. Cash has never minded sleeping in, or at least snuggling in bed. I’m very grateful to not have an early riser!
But this week was a turning point! In a good way. I’ve been reading the Skimm every morning…like I used to! It’s no longer the very first thing I do, but I can change a diaper, grab a bottle, grab some coffee, and read the Skimm. Cash is happily drinking his bottle. I’m happily taking a moment. It’s a beautiful thing! Feels like winning 🙂
Joyful Striving
