a christmas eve story

Yesterday around 4PM I decided to have a little rest before I started on my cheesecake mission. I woke up an hour ago.
Bean stood right in front of my face.
“Good morning, Mommy,” he whispered.
“Good morning, honey.”
“I love you.” At this point it becomes obvious that we’ve been working on his waking-up-Mommy skills, which had previously [...]
