This morning Rick left very early for a meeting at work leaving me on my own to get a lively household full of children out the door and on time to school. Too bad he missed this one.
As I went about my morning routine, I had just finished helping one child study for a social studies test today when I started heading upstairs just before 8 a.m. to get Nathan moving along so we could have family prayer and scripture. He wakes up before then but typically enjoys observing the activity upstairs while I get a few other things done. It’s like a beehive in the morning up there. I was halfway up the stairs when I realized that the music blaring from his bedroom was NOT his own and I had seen all of my other kids downstairs already at various stages of preparing for school. Instead I walked into the bedroom to find a very happy Nathan dancing, and I mean DANCING, to “Party in the USA” that someone had turned on for him! He was having a good time. What entertainment for a one year old! I still haven’t figured out who did that.
I had a good laugh and figured that at least he wasn’t screaming or bored.
I do think that later children “grow up” a little quicker than the first ones do. Sigh…
