Stomp, splash, shine

Most mornings, woken up early by Kush, we descend together, allowing Jess to repair her broken night of sleep. 

Kush is already keen for breakfast - muesli and milk, or porridge, fruit and yoghurt - while I drink a large mug of tea, and then we settle on an activity. Often, I don't find the energy to do more than put a film on, that I can more or less get into while Kush dips in and out, playing with toys and books, using her colouring pens, and jumping around, before I start working at around ten.

When we do get outside early, it's usually a good experience for us both - and certainly a healthier habit before spending much of the day in front of the computer. 

This morning was particularly nice, as the rain stopped almost immediately and we had the joy of bright sunlight on the rain-wet streets before the cloud returned.
