I have a new alarm clock. It’s not very reliable, as I can not set it. I never know when it’s going to go off. It doesn’t have a snooze and that is a major inconvenience. It has no radio or a funky buzzing sound. It’s not one of the old school round bell ringing clocks from the 50’s. However, this clock is very rare.

What this alarm does have far outweighs what it doesn’t. My new alarm always makes me feel good when it wakes me in the morning. My new alarm wakes me in the most gentle way, no jolting me out of a dead sleep. I look forward to my new alarm going off, no matter how early it wakes me. OK, maybe not too early.

My new alarm clock is Elle.

Lately, when Elle wakes up she quietly walks into our bedroom, works her way to my side of the bed, puts her hands on the side and slightly pulls herself up until she can just see over the mattress. As I hear her working her way up the side of the bed, I open my eyes and my new alarm clock has started my day.

I have the best alarm clock in the whole world.

Morning Daddy!!!
