These kids get up crazy early most mornings. Today was no exception. Joseph was dressed and ready to go by 6:15am. He had already woken Camilla (who was also dressed) so I poured them both a bowl of cheerios to eat while I got myself up and ready. I was kneeling at the end of my bed saying a much needed morning prayer when miss Camilla came tip-toeing in and tapped me on the shoulder. I had already finished, but kept my eyes closed for just a few minutes more. I wasn't quite ready to face what the day had in store after being up all night with a croupy baby and a boy who's afraid of the dark. I'm not even sure my body remembers how to sleep through the night anymore. Turns out Joe had knocked his bowl of cheerios off the table and there was milk everywhere. I was glad I wasn't in the kitchen when it happened or I might not have been able to remain as calm as I did. I mopped it up as I breathed a heavy sigh. Tears of frustration definitely stung my eyes this morning. This dear, sweet little boy has knocked off more bowls of cheerios then I care to count in his short life time. I am considering banning cereal from our home all together!
Things started to turn around at lunch time though! The boys were happy and cooperative and even loved each other!
It's these sweet moments that I live for. I was glad I had my phone nearby to snap a picture! I love the way Finley pulled Joseph in close, with his chubby little hand on his face. Hyrum hovered over to join in and makes the perfect "protective" big brother. Life sure is messy sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way with these three!!
