Oatmeal

My alarm went off. 5:45 seems FAR to early to be getting out of bed. My grumpy self climbed out of bed, walked across the room, and turned off the annoying buzz noise.
I could hear the little cherping sounds of Zander's tiny voice. I couldn't believe he was awake all ready. His voice was coming from the kitchen. I decided to see what he was up to.

As I walked out of the bedroom door towards the kitchen, Zander saw me. Immediately he climbed off the kitchen bar stool and with much excitment came running towards me. I couldn't help but smile. I knelt down and open my arms wide to give him a morning hug. His body hit mine in an enormous bear hug.... he nearly knocked me over. He squoze me with all his might!! Then, as his hug released, he looked at me with very wide, very happy eyes and said...

"Mom! Thank you for getting my favorite oatmeal!" Then, he proceeded to give me another big hug.

He completely made my day! It is amazing how the simple little things, like oatmeal, can make the biggest difference in Zander's little life. And... I find it amazing how such a tiny littler person can have such a big impact on my day!
