How we make it through our mornings...

I often find myself getting ready in the morning with small children at my feet or Tyler asking if he can join me in the shower..... (Um yeah, I know he's getting to old so this stopped about 6 mos. ago but he still alway's asks.) If the door is locked, all I hear is him pounding on it until I come to his rescue. I don't know about everyone else but I always have found this time challenging. Tyler is getting to the age that my privacy is becoming more and more important and Sydney is still so small that I have to watch her very closely...

Once out of the shower it's on to getting myself looking halfway decent.

Tyler is in and out the whole time and always comes in with a question: "Mom, can I watch a movie?"... "Mom, can I go outside?"... Mom, can you play with me?"... Mom, can I go to Derek's?"...

All the while Sydney is now on the move and climbing up my legs or getting into my cabinets, etc. I often put her on the counter with me and give her my makeup bag to go through. She loves dumping it out and putting everything back in. Then that gets old so she migrates to the floor where she now starts going through the cabinets. All my hair stuff get pulled out and strung all over the bathroom and bedroom. Then I see her sticking her fingers in her mouth trying to get the hair out of her mouth.. OH GROSS.

I am always so thankful to move on to breakfast where a whole new set of question's/challenges occur.

Sydney and her toothpick!

Sydney found a toothpick on the floor of the family room the other night and we didn't know it. Braden just happened to look down at her and she just had it in her mouth like anyone else would. It was too funny.

Also can you tell Easter is coming....
