{i am home alone. i have plenty to do.
but instead i am dusting off the old blog and listening to this brand new cover album in preparation of seeing brandi carlisle on sunday night.}
chris and i joined a new yoga studio. i'll blog more on that later, because it has been a game changer for us.
to give you an idea of the first child of mine, you must know that he is an early riser. he sets an alarm for goodness sake (i mean, i do too. difference is he doesn't hit snooze approximately one million times per morning. but i digress.) he likes to wake up early, veg on the couch, watch a show before the hustle and bustle of eating breakfast, getting dressed and getting out of the door for school.
two to three mornings a week, chris goes to a 6 am yoga class, arriving home in time enough to get the boys to school (it's their thing).
on those days chris is gone, my ben pours me a cup of coffee and brings it to me in bed, lays down and chats with me to get our mornings together started. i turn my alarm off.
he is nine now.
he brings me coffee.
he lets me snuggle him and just like that my day is made.
i can't even with this child.
he's growing up.
just yesterday he talked to me about girls.
girls.....
he is our gentle ben.
a baby-lover.
a talented drummer.
an appreciator of music and food and people and experiences.
a friend to everyone.
he is hestitant to try new things, he's set in his ways, he's stubborn like a bull--- but once he branches out he embraces life big.
he is funny and gentle and emotional and passionate, oh so passionate.
nine years ago he changed our lives and has since managed to enhance the lives of everyone he meets.
this boy of mine who likes girls and brings me coffee,
has my heart.
forever and ever.
