Wake by 6am. Put the kettle on for toddler’s
oatmeal, start coffee. Slip into the washroom, splash my face with water.
Quickly dress. Kettle boils. Slip a bowl of oatmeal in front of eager toddler,
check email, collect my newspaper from the front step. Coffee. A second bowl of
oatmeal. Wife prepares herself for work, checks her phone, dresses, puts on
makeup, interacts with now-fed toddler. I read my newspaper. She heads out to
work. Gather toddler, change and dress him, offer his snow pants to begin the process
of heading out. He dresses, slowly, allowing for another sip of coffee. I make
a quick stop in the washroom, and brush teeth. Collect keys, adjust his
snowsuit and boots. Collect his schoolbag and own coat, boots, before out the
door by 8:45. This will be a good day. This will be a good day.
