Is there anything better? I mean really. Well maybe Saturday mornings with a full nights sleep the night before. Between the little man and the dog, it was a rough night. But everything is ok because Saturday mornings are the best. Starting the day at the unusual, more leisurely pace. Sitting on the couch with a coffee and your favorite creamer mixed thogether perfectly. The anticipation of the entire next two full days without work. Family time is at a premium and it is mornings like these that really have to be cherished. There isn’t the rushing about getting yourself ready, making sure the dog got outside and got breakfast and water, getting the little man in his car seat and remembering everything for day care for that day. There isn’t the rush everyone out the door only to work all day and not see them until evening. Saturday mornings are perfect because you get to enjoy family, enjoy life and relax for a minute. I love every minute of playing with my son on Saturday mornings. It’s so fun watching him develop a personality, smiling and giggling, sitting up and playing with his toys, laughing hysterically when tickeled or when I look away and look back at him. So many firsts and so many things changing, this is a really exciting time for me as a father and for us as a family.

Correction: Saturday mornings with a six month old are the best thing ever, regardless of sleep!
