Hellllooo, Little Miss Muffet

Harmony takes a while to wake up. I hear her rustling around in her crib for quite a while before she starts to squawk a little bit.

I think learning to be alone, and comfortable in your cozy bed is a skill that many of us have forgotten in our Western world view of activity and schedules. And so I like to listen to her talk until she sends out a more insistent, "I think it's time for breakfast" kind of sound.

And so that's when I go and get her bottle ready. And when I come back, I see her on her tummy, sometimes still and sometimes wiggling, and I say,

"Hellllooooo Little Miss Muffet," and her little legs start to kick like crazy and she tries to roll over, and she looks at me and gives me the biggest smile of the day.

Good morning, Little Miss Muffet, it's time to start our day.
