How is it that a toddler wakes before the parents?
The
morning light weighed her to her pillow. She covered her head with her blanket.
It was too early to rise. She hadn’t had coffee and the alarm wouldn’t ring for
at least thirty minutes.
Magically her child lept to his feet, grabbed hold of his
crib rails and bounced on the mattress as though it were a trampoline, announcing the beginning of a new day. She didn’t have to be in his room to know this is what he did.
“Mama, ma-ma, maaaaaa-maaaaaa--come and
get me,” was the loose translation of the gibberish saturated with playful demand.
Like a myriad of mothers living before her and in households
across the land where the weight of the morning sun crept through bedroom
drapes, she waited. Allowing her head to be weighed down on her beloved pillow
smooshed to a perfect consistency, and her blanket to hide her from the morning
sun. Perhaps he’ll give up and go back to sleep.
But, no. The jabbering, singing, clinging, clumping of toys from
inside the crib hitting the floor, flumping of curtains pulled from the rods
hitting the carpet, sweet musical ramblings of her child persisted.
She loved the sound.
And held her blanket close to her chin,
weighed, such a sweet delightful weight of a morning sunrise, serenaded by her
precious toddler.
It's a 20 - 20 year
It may be a roller coaster or smooth sailing.
Hold on!
There's no looking back. No hindsight.
