seeing black & white

black & white - has kind of a stigma to it. old tv, old pictures, old people (i'm thinking the hair thing!) but have you ever noticed early in the morning, as the sun is coming up, and the room is still dark because the curtains are drawn, that everything appears black & white? this maybe one of favorite times of day. no, i am not a morning person. no i'm not an old person. but it is in these wee hours that my kids wake up. although i do admit when i hear them i am secretly wishing they would go back to sleep for a while. but on mornings when we don't have anywhere to be they will lay in bed with us and talk, and giggle and snuggle. so while you are being climbed all over, stepped on, and given sloppy kisses one might realize, that seeing black & white isn't such an old thing after all....all of a sudden it becomes classic!
