Morning Memories

I would love to know exactly what goes on in Taylor's head. I feel like I get glimpses from time to time. Recently I have been extremely intrigued by the first words/thoughts she has in the morning. On a side note, anyone else love waking up next to a sleeping toddler? I do. I love quiet mornings when I can lazily watch both of my kids peacefully sleeping. Granted that doesn't happen all that often. Anyways....so Taylor wakes up the other morning rolls over and says "this is my leg" as she points to her leg. Yes,sweetie it most certainly is. But how was that her first thought of the day? Other times she'll wake up and immediately start singing a silly song. There are several songs she chooses from. Sometimes she'll wake up and announce she's hungry, that seems normal. Or she'll tell me specifically which DVD she wants to watch. Yesterday she rolled over and told me that I had brown eyes. Occasionally her first act will be to crawl over and check on her baby brother. On another occasion Taylor's first act of the day was to wander into our bedroom, spy her father getting dressed and announce "look at that butt and those legs" In all fairness she was really just listing the body parts she could see. But the way it came out made our sides hurt from laughing.

My favorite morning glimpse into the workings of Taylor's head came a few weeks ago. Taylor rolls over in the early morning hours and spies her father, who is wearing PJ pants but no shirt and loudly tells him "Daddy, your naked....go put clothes on". Jay, for as long as I've known him, has never worn a shirt to bed. This is not new for info for Taylor either. So why was this morning different from any others? No clue. But she was fixated on it and would not take no for an answer. Little stinker kept bugging him until he got out of bed and got a shirt. Then happy as can be, she rolls over and goes back to sleep....leaving us very confused and as always, entertained.
