Confidence Booster

So the time change didn't kick in until today! We set the clocks back on Saturday night, figured Maddie would be up at the crack of dawn on Sunday, but nope; she slept until 8:30am! Yesterday, she slept until a little after 7:30am which wasn't bad... but today, up a little before 7am! Uggh!
This always messes with my morning routine when she's up early.
You see, I get up at 5:45am with Ryan and go for my run. I usually get out the door by 6, so I run and come back by 6:30am. Then I am able to cool down and lay down (not always fall back asleep but at least rest) until my alarm goes off at 7:45am.
I can get in the shower and get my clothes ironed by the time Maddie is talking in her crib. (She is usually just waking up when I get in the shower, but like me, she takes a good 15 minutes to actually wake up enough to function!)
Then I am able to get her eating breakfast while I do my hair and get dressed.

When she's up early, this all changes!

So this morning, we laid on the couch together for about 20 minutes and watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Then I told her I needed to shower. She decided she would come in the bathroom and sit on the stool outside the tub while I showered.
Good deal, I could make sure she wasn't getting into anything she shouldn't and she could still sit and talk my ear off!

So, she was taking her tubby toys and dropping them into the tub, I'd put them back on the side of the tub, and the cycle continued...

Well, she got bored with this, so she held open the curtain and looked in as I was washing my face and said, "Mumma, you washin'?" "Yep, Maddie, Mumma's in the shower, getting clean." Then she looked me up and down from head to toe (which is usually followed by something about boobies or belly button or something silly), but instead she said, "Mumma, you're beautiful"....

Seriously! Is there a better compliment?
I think not!
