Early Morning and Children

by

Each and every morning when I am home and not at work, I take my daughter to the daycare/school. There is where she spends most of the day until one of us picks her up.
Caris is so used to me being there in the morning for her that when I am not, she asks my wife where I am. I make her breakfast and give her something to drink and just watch in amazement how much she has grown. She eats, looks at me and tells me something or she asks something. There is usually never a dull moment with her.
The early morning regiment is something I look forward to. I can spend quality time with her and use that time as a father daughter bonding time.
I do not allow the television to be on despite her consistently asking me. I want quiet time and time to share with her. She can watch her favorite television shows when she gets home from daycare. As for the morning, it is our time.
I came home from work this morning after being out all of last night. When she heard the door opening, she ran to the stairs and bellowed my name. What better way to come home from a brutal night of working??
Thankfully, my wife had her dressed already so all I had to do was drop her off. While I did not get to spend some quality time this morning, I know there will be plenty of other times.

On a side note, I have another website. Please check it out. Usually it covers the broad spectrum of human interest.
