Early Morning Play

I’m usually up at about 5:15 AM every morning so that I have more time for my morning routine activities before I wake Ling up just after 6 AM. Hannah gets woken up at about 6:25 AM for a diaper change and temperature check, and if things move along speedily enough, we’ll usually get about 5-10 minutes of time to play with her before we all have to head out to our first stop (infant care / nanny’s).

This short window of 5-10 minutes every morning has become very precious for us – because Hannah is at her cutest and most lovely moods! With a new diaper change, and an activity level that’s a perfect balance between her usual boundless energy and that she’s still just a little groggy from having woken up, she’ll coo, look inquisitively at us, or play with new toys with us on the sofa. E.g. she’s taken a fascination with my staff employment card.:)

Her temperament’s quite different from say at about 7 to 8 PM when I’m home: she’d be super-energetic, hyper, and it’s rapidly exhausting just to play with her.:)
