Hey,

I have a similar thing with my ritual of waiting in the waiting room. When I arrive on time he is usually waiting right by the door (I think he can see me coming out the window of his office). Sometimes I arrive a bit early, though. Sometimes even before him lol. There is something comforting about that. Partly because it is often really cold outside so the waiting room is respite. Partly because I can hear him pottering around in his morning ritual. Going to the bathroom and getting water and stuff like that. I'm confident enough to open the blinds in the waiting room now lol (I never used to be so he used to do that). But yeah, there is something soothing in a toddler kinda way. Sometimes I read a bit but really, I'm just listening to him...
