Had I Have Known

Mornings around our house have been pretty typical these days, and the routine has been pretty much the same but also getting easier on me as Bea is much more independent and Olivia can play in her crib or crawl around if I need a bit more time in getting ready. I'm alone with both girls in the mornings, and since my new workplace is flexible on when I get into the office, I now take my time with them in the morning. This morning things seemed to go as planned and I was actually ready and waiting for them to get up around 7:15. Olivia got up first. Then Bea.

Olivia was looking for snuggles this morning because she still seemed tired. And I happen to love that and take advantage of every single minute I get of it these days because it won't be much longer until...well, you know, they just grow up so fast. So she is laying on me, head on my shoulder, body sprawled out across my chest and stomach. And we are talking back to each other in her language. Suddenly I feel a weird warmth. And then it feels wet. And I am thinking "NO WAY! She did not do that. She's got a DIAPER on!" She did. I should have changed her night diaper before snuggling. And wow, it was a lot of pee. And then part of me wonders if she planned that all out, because well, we all know that Olivia is a little bit of drama at times and likes to cause chaos by throwing us for these loops every now and again. So, I can only wonder what my little girl was thinking while this happened.

Things brings me to the #7 post: An Unheard Conversation
