Mornings are usually my least favourite time of the day. I have never been a morning person, and probably never will be, but at least I've learned way's to make it easier:
1. I always try to have their clothes picked out the night before and ready to go
2. I always try to have their cereal poured into their bowls the night before
The second one helps me tons and saves a bunch of screaming from hungry kids who want food on the table the second they ask for it.
On the plus side, this morning I was able to get one of them dressed before breakfast, it only took me 20 minutes because she's a squirmy worm who likes to wiggle and run away.
and never forget that the toys need to eat too.
That rug used to be stain-free, until the picnics in the living room claimed it
The least favourite part of the mornings...Christian's braces...but at least he's getting to the point after a couple years and not fussing too much when they got put on. And the Toy Story shoes help :)
Presley is my Curious George, always having to get into everything to see how it works.
and he hides the second he see's the camera and does his cheeky face when I catch him.
I love the days the boys get along, they are so close together and each other's best friend, these truly are the glory years where they actually show that they love each other, even if it means wrestling each other.
now sibling rivalry is something that shows up on a daily basis, like when Christian tries to use his walker.
Presley is right there trying to take it away.
Kylie is like a regular little girl, she loves shoes and clothes, and trying to get into mommy's make-up.
She's the one who tells me when it's time to go outside, with her big brown eyes batting her eyelashes and saying a simple "shoes".
No morning is complete without a cup of tea and talking to my best friend through the computer, though I forgot to take a picture of my tea, without my best friend I would be lost, she's one of those people you can tell anything to and she will never judge, and always try to give advice on problems and help where she can, she's a one in a million, and I'm blessed to have her in my life.
on the way outside I see a bunch of laundry that needs to be cleaned and put away, but with the kids smiling excited to go into the backyard, it can wait until next time, Kids won't remember how messy a house was, they remember the times they were smiling and the times I was there making memories with them.
so outside we go and the fighting starts, the territory over toys is a funny battle to watch, as they both yell at each other in their own kid language, but shortly later they are best of friends again.
And I finally got a picture of the three of them in the same spot :) it's a rarity at best.
my baby girl does a waddle sometimes when she walks, and I got one on film just by chance, and it's perfect.
and my vegetable garden the kids helped me make, with the rain the weeds have been coming back, but I have lots of Carrots starting to grow...the kids poured the package of seeds into the ground, it should be interesting to see them grow bigger.
oh and I can't forget this picture, it sums up how helpful my little man is, he's always trying to help others and make them smile. I think it shows me that I must be doing a pretty good job trying to raise them into great caring human beings :)
