This morning, my alarm went off at 6am. I saw the hallway light flick on, so I knew the boys were up. I snoozed til 6:30, and then dragged my tired bum to the shower. By the time I got downstairs, it was 6:47. I could hear Josh and Caleb exchanging pleasantries. They informed me that the snacks and lunches were already made, they had already eaten breakfast... and they were obviously dressed. With nothing else to do, I went back upstairs to dry my hair, until it was time to head for the bus.
After careful reflection of this scenario, I figured I had two options:
1) I could feel guilty at the thought of my 8 and 5 year old fending for themselves while I snoozed in my bed. OR...
2) I could feel confident in knowing that I trained them right, in order to be independent and responsible.
I chose the latter.
Josh and Caleb on the 1st day of school. Aren't they handsome?

Aw. that is a good morning!
Oh yeah. The latter is the right choice!
We got our girls an alarm clock, and I love that they are up and going before I have to stumble out of bed to get them their lunches made and walk them to the bus stop.
