Breakfast in Bed

Anyone who has children remembers the first few months with a newborn. The nights can be very, very loooooong! And mornings will leave you feeling as though someone snuck in with glue and applied it to your eyelids and added lead weights to your brain. When you have more than one child, mornings can be even trickier!

In our house the fun usually begins somewhere between 6:30 and 7 am. "Maaaaaaaaaaaama, Maaaaaaaaaama" is heard repeated endlessly from the other room, the baby, woken by the noise, starts to cry, and Douglas turns on the morning news. And I'm usually thinking - I just fell asleep a few moments ago! Pure fun!

Our very dear daughter has noticed how "out of it" mom and dad seem in the morning. So Addison has decided lately to help us out! For the past few mornings she has served us breakfast in bed! In she comes with a tray carrying two GIANT bowls of cereal. She even cut up some cantaloupe! We love how helpful she is becoming. The only caution - I don't want Elias to think he can eat cereal in bed every day!

We love you Addison - Thank you for watching out for your ol' mom and dad.

I am really feeling the weight on the brain. 12 noon and I'm fading fast.
