I am so tired that there are no WORDS for tired anymore. Levi has been getting up at 5:30 for the past several mornings in a row and my body is going in shut down mode.
But yet---I will still probably stay up to watch a show. As we all know, I like my "me" time.
5:30 isn't a terrible time to be up when you think about it, though. You really do get a lot done, like staring at your unfolded laundry basket until it's time to get in the shower.
No but seriously, for me it's one of my favorite times of day. It's MY time with Levi.
I swear, sometimes it feels like Isaac is a stay-at-home-dad. Even though I don't see him much, he's ALWAYS home - with Levi - before goes to work.
He does the dishes and chores from our "weekly list" (inspired by himself), feeds him, changes him, and chases after him all day long while I'm at work......Face Timing them, LOL. Thank God for Steve Jobs.
I will come home from work, or pick him up from moms, and he will have learned how to clap and make a new sound all in one day. HEARTBREAKING!
I'm over-exaggerating. It's not really all that bad. I've actually seen a LOT of his firsts. And if I don't always see it the first time he did something, I see it the first time I see him doing it. And that's good for me. :)
Our routines that we have in the morning - and at night - are my favorite times of day. He has become my buddy. He watches me in total intensity while I brush my teeth, screams for attention while I put on my makeup, and grabs at cords while I yell no.
At night, he fights with me to keep his bib on and bites the heck out of the ducky's head in the bath water.
If I have learned one thing with having a child and trying to work in extras on top of that, it is compartmentalizing your time. You must do it for each and every little thing in life. And strategically.
It is the only way I survive.
