Our Morning Routine

Posted by Jessica

I slept at around 11pm or so last night and got up at 5am. For those who know me, I am not a morning person…can’t remember when was the last time I got up at 5am. I lay in bed thinking if I should get up. One of my fear/sadness going forward is going to the bathroom in the morning.

Gavin always says that Shasta is a mommy’s boy. There are things that Shasta does with/to me that he does not do with Gavin. Shasta and I have our own bathroom time when I get out of bed. Even though Gavin gets up out bed before I do, Shasta does not get out of his bed to greet Gavin….ok, maybe Shasta has done that 10% of the time with Gavin.

As for me, when I get up of bed, regardless of where Shasta is (be it in the living room or in his bed next to ours), he will get out of his bed and go to the bathroom with me. As I sit down on the toilet bowl, Shasta will greet me by sitting next to me and wait for me to pat and give him a morning kisses. Once he gets his pats and kisses, he will walk out of the bathroom and back to his original spot. He does this with me about 95% of the time.

This morning, I sat there…looking at the spot where he should be…he’s not there.
