Independence

Since Sierra was born, I have been unable to nap. So, I look for little ways to let me stay in bed longer. (This week Grandma is here, so I am loving sleeping-in!) One way I have found is to give the girls a little independence. I set-up a little cupboard just for them where they are able to get their own bowls, cups, utensils, and cereal. I also leave a Hello Kitty water bottle with a pull top full of milk in the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. The girls now get-up and play, and when they get hungry, they get their own cereal! It is AWESOME! It has given me up to 2 additional hours in bed! And, the girls love feeling grown-up. I even hear Allison pray. Precious. Hooray for independence!
