Routine

Dear T, A, and H,

This morning, your dad very kindly stayed home until our Nikki arrived so I could get to work.  I found myself dragging my feet to get out the door because I love our routine.  We wake up (actually the three of  you usually wake up).  Taylor, you get Hudson out of the crib and the three of you come barreling down stairs full of energy, excitement, and anticipation.  You girls are so excited to surprise me by getting in your uniforms and brushing your hair before I see you.

Hudson, you love all of the morning rush!   You love having your "girls" whirl around you, you love that Elmo is on your diaper, and you LOVE having cereal for breakfast.  You stand by your seat at the bar and say "cereal" over and over until you are in your place and having your breakfast.

Breakfast is usually rushed, but there is a lot of happy chatter some days, and bickering over who has their feet on which chair, and Hudson grabbing someone's snack other days.  I still love all of it because it is predictable, and it is time with each of you.  Once breakfast is done the chaos begins: shoes on, snacks in backpacks, teeth brushed, beds made, dishwasher emptied and loaded.  I love all of it.

So, thank you to all three of you for each of these mornings. I love them and I love the time with you!
Xoxo
Mom
