All the Sun For You

A mom, two boys, a husband, and a whole lot of adventure!

The Monday Snapshot(s) – Awesome Morning!

6 Comments

Bryson had a crappy night last night, which makes sense given he had a super night the night before last. B had to leave town at 4:30 this morning, so when Bryson woke up at 3:30, I just put him in bed with me. It was his second waking since 10:15, which meant there would be more. No thanks! We slept well snuggled up together!

Bryson and I woke up at 7:00 and started getting ready for the day as I marveled in the fact that Matthew just kept on sleeping. I sort of worried about him, being perfectly honest, but didn’t want to wake him. At 8:00, I opened his door so he could hear us moving around and wake up on his own. At 8:08, I heard his sweet little feet running down the hall toward me! He slept for 11 hours last night! He was sad not to see Daddy but gave me a huge hug and kiss!

Matthew ate his breakfast as I got things ready for school. He let me dress him without a fight and we were off for school. We talked about “nice hands” and “good listening ears” before we said goodbye. Matthew loves school!

I am sitting in the Sta.rbucks parking lot as I write this, with a napping, snuggling Bryson in my lap (I nursed him to sleep, oh yes I did!). I’m supposed to be walking at the mall with the other moms, but my perfect moments with Bryson are more important than any walk or social hour. 🙂

Hi, there, I’m Courtney. I never planned to stay home with my kids, but I got sucked into motherhood when my first baby came into our lives after years of infertility and multiple rounds of IVF. His brother followed closely behind, something we didn’t plan on after having such a rough road with achieving parenthood the first time around. My boys are IVF cycle twins, conceived on the same day but born two years and one day apart (they were both transferred on the same day in October, but with two years between them). My boys are the best of friends and my husband is a terrific husband, father, and most importantly… friend. He fully supported my desire to stay home (“I just wanted it to be your idea and not mine, I totally want you to stay home and raise our kids!”) and encourages me in everything I do. I am a lover of projects, spreadsheets, fitness, healthy cooking and eating, crafts, selling my stuff on FB (HA!), and the outdoors. If I’m active, I’m pretty darn happy!

  1. Awww I am so glad you had such a wonderful morning with your boys. It sounds like they were both on their best behaviour. Good luck these next few days of solo parenting. Hope the boys keep up that great behaviour 🙂

  2. Awesome! Ohhh I just want to snuggle B in that little sweater. What a great morning. I have to stop myself and enjoy the moment sometimes too, or I will never notice/remember it!

  3. That picture of B sitting up in the bed with that HUGE smile on his face- love it!! Yay for good mornings!

  4. I’m glad you had an awesome morning! And Bryson’s smile is just too cute!!!!

  5. I love how much Bryson smiles for the camera! That is one thing I can’t wait for once we put Chloe in a big bed, is her to be able to come out on her own time and tell us good morning.

  6. Awh, it’s so great to take time to document the awesome mornings and not just the tough ones. Love this!
