This morning as I got ready for work Paul called into the monitor, "Elissa come upstairs for some cuteness overload!" So I ran upstairs and found the kiddies in Ruthie's dark room, illuminated by only the nightlight. She and Ethan were sitting at her pink princess table, drinking cups of milk, chatting with their stuffed animals in a way that only a NJ child can do. It sounded like this, "Giraffe-e how YOU doing, how YOU doing green frogg-y, how YOU doing blue bunny? Morning Mommy, we are having milk with giraffe-e and bunny. You just woke up?"

Starting my day the perfect way.
