Day 56: Breakfast buds

Dan doesn't eat breakfast and I usually just grab a coffee and some fruit so it's never been a big meal in our house. The kids, on the other hand, love breakfast and happily gobble up plates of fruit, eggs, waffles, whatever is on the menu for the morning. Recently I've taken to sitting with them while they eat and it's turned into a nice little ritual. I confess that prior to Dan leaving I set out breakfast for the kids and raced upstairs to finish getting ready for work. Now I'm trying to be more present, which means getting up a little earlier so I can have the time to sit across from them. It's a silly little thing, I know, but even the extra 15 minutes with the kids is time for me to reflect on how big they're getting and to just enjoy them in the moment.
