August 26

This week, this littlest guy of mine has been intent on getting things done in the morning before he goes to school. (Which I know is funny given the state of his hair a few entries ago but hey, that's my life.)

So today, he got up early, made his bed (which is code for "threw the blanket I made for him over his mattress"), combed his hair, ate breakfast, washed his face, and brushed his teeth. (Yes, he ate a lollipop after he brushed his teeth. Sigh.)

When he finished, he wandered downstairs, took a lap through the kitchen, and then moved a pillow so he could plunk down next to me.

It's nice that he wanted to sit by his mom. The very simplest blessings are so often the best of them all.
