not to take for granted

Last week, I heard little light footsteps walk through the hallway. G worked the night shift and is heavily asleep. I heard the sink turn on a few seconds later. Two little voice whispering.

Then swishing, spitting and silence.

Footsteps went back into their room. A few more minutes, I finally got up to check.

g & s have prepped themselves for the day. Teeth brushed, faces washed and fully dressed.

I found them sitting quietly on the couch, waiting for breakfast.

This moment makes me realize how fast they are growing. I can't take this time for granted.
