AROUND OUR HOUSE LATELY

we awake in the mornings after brandon leaves for work. we ask with sleepy voices, what should we do today? what's sounds good for breakfast? i tickle that spot just under his chin, it's still chubby and soft and it still makes him lie still for a minute and smile while i tell him all about our plans.

we shuffle out to fetch cups of yogurt and start the heaters. we find the remote for the dvd player for our favorite morning cartoons and we point our toes once from the couch. we stretch our arms and brush our teeth. we get dressed.

we go outside and freeze. we run about til our chins are numb and errands are done, then we come inside to thaw. our cheeks buzz softly until the brisk pink fades. 

we fetch drinks from the fridge, we tidy up the mess. we clean the bathrooms, we build block towers, we vacuum the rugs. we count to ten, we sing our ABCs. we stop to check instagram or text something funny to brandon.

we start up dinner, we start up cartoons. we abandon cartoons, we start up choo choo trains. we start up emails. we abandon emails. we start up a load of dishes. 

we give daddy kisses, we admire him in his suit and tie. we ask "how was your day?" we re-enact our comings and goings. we put on our stretchiest pants. we write up a silly little blog post and hope the internet is kind. 

we stay up late and watch another movie. 

the boy is softly breathing from the other side of the door.
