Early Tuesday Morning
Tags:Waiting for the bus. Giggling while being chased by Dad. Lily wanting to play fetch. Hot coffee. Orange twinkle lights. Anna already off with Kim. Bagel & cream cheese. Teeth-brushed. Hair sprayed with water to keep that "crazy hair" at bay. Papers placed in backpack and reminders spoken to give them to his teacher. Fog. Shoes on. Coat on. Fewer verbal reminders these days than in the past. Conversation about how happy he has been lately. Third grade. Subjects + predicates. Routines. Rhythms. Fall.

So lovely! I, on the other hand, am rushing through my day with ten thousand household chores to finish... paying the price of playing the Columbus Day weekend away!

A great memory! I need to introduce 'spraying hair with water' to my son's routine too. He now has enough hair that it's becoming necessary.

Ooooh! Love the dusky ambience!!!
I can't believe Simon is already in 3rd grade....as much in disbelief as my son is too. Time is whizzing by so fast these days, it seems.
I wish I could do a blog like you, Ali. You're a great mom for recording their daily lives.

Beautiful beginning to a beautiful day! Always enjoy the snippets of everyday life here at the Edwards household. Inspires me to be a better keeper of the Sanborn memories.
Third grade... hard to believe! What a fine youngman Simon's becoming, Ali.

PS... those lights are nice, however they have the appearance of a fire!
