Day Twenty Seven :: Candy corn pjs

There is just something about how kids' faces look when they first wake up.

Madeline is especially adorable for the first two minutes after she wakes. Her face seems chubbier, her eyelids are puffy and her voice has a frog-esque element to it.

Yesterday, Joe and I were already up when we heard her door creak open and little feet slapping the wood floor. She was heading to our room (because momma normally sleeps until she wakes me) so Joe called out to her that we were in the kitchen. 

She ran towards us, her eyes squinting in the light and before we could even say "good morning," she held out her beloved My Little Pony and croaked, "Pinkie Pie has pjs!"

Apparently she had dressed Pinkie Pie in her candy corn socks and waited all night to show us.

I know this story isn't funny and might even seem lame since no one else was there to witness it but it was one of those moments I want to always remember and 20 years from now, I think I'll be thankful I wrote it down.

This child has captured my whole heart.
