Tuesday mornings are rough for me, because I do laundry on Monday nights and am usually up until at least 1:00am. Yesterday was particularly difficult because I had also been woken up separate times in the night by both Will & Olivia. When they came to my room at 7:00am, I sent them downstairs to get breakfast with the promise that I would be right behind them.
It took me a little longer than I intended to get going, and s I started down the stairs, I stopped at Olivia's room to turn off her light and noticed her bed was made, an anomaly, for sure. I then checked Will's room, and his bed was made as well! I ran down the stairs calling out, "Will! Olivia! Where are you? Someone kidnapped you and made your beds!" I rounded the corner into the kitchen, only to find them already dressed, eating breakfast they had made themselves! I again joked, "Aliens! What have you done with my children!? Give them back to me!" We all dissolved into a fit of giggles and endless hugs.
Their surprise, not only made my day, but turned what could have been a stressful and rushed morning into one of our best mornings ever!

Since Will was born, I've been keeping a notebook close by where I can record all of the funny things my kids do and say as well as the special milestones & moments of their lives. Thanks to inspiration from a fabulous friend - I now keep them here.
