Breakfast with Tara

For the past few days, I've been trying to wake up early so I can bring Tara for breakfast before going to work. The day before yesterday, I woke up early enough, but when it's time to leave the house, Tara refused to budge. She even said bye bye to me when I told her I'm going off without her. I spent quite a bit of time talking and cajoling her before she's finally willing to leave, and by that time, we were too late for even a quick drink. And yesterday, I couldn't wake up so there goes my plan.

This morning, however, I did managed to get up pretty early. 6.30am. And by the time we were ready to leave the house, it's only 7.35am. Time's a bit tight, but spending time with my little girl is more important than anything else.

We went to this coffeeshop just a short distance away. The soft boiled eggs are always perfect, the toast always nicely done and the drinks are always made the right way.
When we stepped in, all eyes turned our way cos it's an industrial area and having a toddler in tow is not common.

I gave Tara an egg and she was slowly scooping the egg into her mouth with the teaspoon until she saw me sipping it directly from the plate. She picked up her plate and follow suit. The cute part was, she was really careful and sipping really slowly until she finished the whole plate of egg. A group of men sitting beside us was pretty amused. Guess they have never seen a toddler eating eggs like this.

It's such a nice feeling to be able to enjoy breakfast before starting work for the day. And it's even better have Tara with me.

I won't say I hope to do this everyday, cos it's just not possible. Waking up at 6.30am every morning?

You kidding!!
