Travis in the mornings...
Mar. 1st, 2008 07:47 amThis morning - and most mornings lately - I wake up to NPR and Travis. In the early Travis days, it would be manic Travis. He would race across me or claw at me or, in whatever way he could, make sure I would not doze or sleep or even stay in bed.
These days, he still wakes up early early but now he's the model of patience and snuggling. This morning I semi woke up and he was awake, lying right next to me just waiting for me to wake up. We snuggled and I dozed and he waited. Then I got up and while I got the paper and the coffee he runs from one end of the house to the other at top speed.
Then, while I read the paper, we play fetch. I throw the toy and he brings it back and hides it under the paper. Lather, rinse, repeat.
He's turned completely from a morning terror to a morning joy...

Now we're just piddling around on the computer and enjoying the morning. Rosie at 10.
