It is 6 am Saturday morning and I’m up as usual by myself, my wife and the baby are still asleep and probably will be until 9 am. I’m in the kitchen making a coffee and will spend the next few hours having some me time before I have a shower and start the day.
At 9:30 everyone is awake and my wife jumps in the shower. I’m getting the baby ready for his Saturday morning swimming lesson. He’s in a really good mood and there is a lot of laughter and shenanigans while I’m dressing him. I put him down in his play area while I pack his bag with everything I think we will need for the mornings outing. It doesn’t matter how well I pack the bag, my wife will repack it. Once the bag is packed and everything is on the table ready to go, I sit on the mat with my son and we play with his toys until my wife comes through ready to head out. Even in her casual clothes and minimal makeup she looks beautiful. My son yells out “MA MA MA MA!” as soon as he lays eyes on her. “Morning sexy” I say. “Whatever!” she replies as she kisses me as she bends over to pick up our son
