After 13 days off, it's Back-To-Work Wednesday. It also happens to be 13 degrees this morning.
My routine was slightly different this morning. Simon woke up ready to play. We had breakfast, and played some more. I gave him a 15-minute warning, then a five, and then "Simon, we've got to go."
Ears back. Focused. Fast. Simon led the way to day care. I used the same strategy on the walk to the subway, and I think it's going to be what gets me through the day. Ears back.
