My sweet Kaitlyn has been snotty, fussy and just not feeling that great the past couple of days. This morning I woke up at 5:30 because she was crying and the sound of it was blaring from the baby monitor. She will fuss from time to time early in the mornings and then go back to sleep, but this cry sounded like her "Something is wrong," cry. I quickly got out of bed and hurried to her room. Once inside she gathered up her lovey, two blankies, and a book and I picked her up. We sat in the recliner for a while in the quiet, dark, living room and just watched the pictures on the digital frame. It was nice to just sit and hold her. I rubbed her leg and she started rubbing my arm. She would look up at me, snot running from her nose, and smile. After a while I put her back in her bed and she went back to sleep.
Because I was up so early I had extra time to do some extra things for the boys. Surprising them is one of my favorite things to do. I made scrambled eggs and toast for them. By the time their alarm went off and they stumbled out of their room rubbing their eyes I had it ready. They were both excited about the surprise and sat down at the bar to eat.
I also took a dry erase marker and wrote, "Have A Super Day!" on the front door. When they opened the door to head to school they saw it. Logan said, "Hey! Look!" As a mom it's nice to do little things to make them smile and let them know that you love them and hope they have a great day.
