Good morning from the Mathur family who have all been up since 4am. 

Ankur is currently in the bedroom, attempting to put Ishu back to sleep because, man oh man, this kid will be exhausted long before nap time rolls around. 

The problem is that we sleep with our blinds up. I love falling asleep at night, getting to look out at the city. But, in the summer, it starts to get bright so dang early that we’re all just UP. 

But sleeping with the blinds down makes me feel claustrophobic. So I think I’ll take an early wake up time over a dark room, y’know? 

Anyway, there isn’t much new to report on over here. I’ve been taking it easy over here because I – idiotically – pulled a muscle in my lower back. (Thanks to the combination of flat, unsupportive shoes + pushing through an OTF workout). 

Ankur is stepping it up in all the ways this week. He has been picking Ishu up, taking him to the park, tiring him out, and pretty much taking on all of nighttime routine. (While also doing all the osteopathic manipulation on my back, reassuring me that I’m not permanently injured). 

He wins partner and papa of the year. 

OK, now there’s a dance party happening in our living room. (Mirabel Tonie still going strong over here). 

Hope you have a happy Thursday!
