One of my favorite things Rose has been doing lately is in the morning.
You see, I'm not a complete morning person. I can fake my way through it, but I like having some downtime. A child makes downtime in the morning almost impossible. Some days I know I'm a little surly as a result.
Occasionally, Rose used to ask why I was grumpy in a condescending tone. I didn't appreciate her tone at 7 a.m. on Sunday, which resulted in an even grumpier mom, so she devised a new tactic.
"Mom?," she'll inquire politely and tentatively, "Did you sleep well?"
That's my cue. I smile and try to adjust my attitude because I'm obviously being a little grumpy.
