Back to School Blues
It's back to school time for Layla and back to a regular scheduled bedtime and morning routine. But I miss tucking in Axl at night and listening to him say, "I want you to wake me up tomorrow and pick out my clothes." And I would respond, "I always do, Bud." And then he'd say, "Wake me up way too early- before Layla gets up and wake me up with the pups." "Night, Bud, I love you." "I'm going to dream about you and Hunty!" "I'm going to dream about you too, Buddy." When the morning came, I would only hold up half of my end of the bargain. I'd wake him up (with the pups) and pick out his clothes but never before Layla got up. And most mornings, he'd take the clothes I picked out for him (by request) and aggressively throw them in the dirty clothes hamper and then choose his own clothes. It was a sort of game we played just about every night and every morning during that last school year of his life...
