Carson’s a morning person. He’s an early riser. Josh, who’s up early for work, usually convinces him to go back to bed or read books in his room until about 7:00.

This morning Josh went to an early morning temple session, so Carson didn’t have anyone to put him back to bed when he woke up early. Instead I woke up to Carson sitting in bed next to me. He had turned on Josh’s reading light and had one of his picture books open on the bed.

“Hi, mom,” he said. “How did you sleep last night?”

As much as I’d rather sleep than be woken up early, it was a pretty sweet way to start the day.
