Early Birds

Since David doesn't get off work until 2 A.M., it's my job to get up in the morning with Daphne the Early Riser. It's amazing how I used to think I needed lots of sleep in order to make it through the day with a smile on my face. Now with the baby around I find I can survive on way fewer hours than I previously thought possible. Granted, 6 hours per night broken into 3 2-hour chunks are not ideal, but I think I'm handling it quite well.

On at least one day a week, on David's weekend, he will take pity on me and get up with Daphne so that I can sleep in. It's become their tradition to go on an early morning walk to the park.

I'm not there so of course I don't know everything that happens. But I did upload pictures today to find a hint of the fun.














Well, David looks like he's enjoying himself. Daphne looks nervous.
