Monday Mornings

The words "Monday mornings" and "chaotic" seem to be interchangable in their descriptive abilities. After a lazy weekend (OK - even after a jam-packed weekend with too many plans and not enough daylight) Monday mornings seem to pop-up out of nowehere and throw our world into a tailspin.

There isn't much more to do on Monday's than on any other day during the week - pack lunches, make bottles, take showers, get kids dressed, feed the dog, etc. But those few extra things that singularly add a minute or two to the morning routine, combined, add nothing but chaos.

Except this Monday.

This Monday, Lindsey woke up right after my shower (good girl), so Daddy changed her diaper while I put goop in my hair and I was able to fill up her belly and make her happy first thing, then go about my routine while she lounged around. Ryan woke up (dry again - 5 days and counting!), peed on the potty without a fight, ate his breakfast, got dressed and settled on the couch just in time for Elmo's world. Daddy got up after just one hit of the snooze button, made lunches, gathered up everything that was heading out to the cars and made sure he spent a few extra moments loving on his baby girl.

Who, by the way, treats every day like it's a Saturday - waking up with big smiles and, today, added a little wave to the camera for good measure.


Can every Monday be this awesome?
