Getting the kids up in the morning... *sigh* Every minute in our house counts in the morning. As a rule of thumb we make it a point to get Aaron and the kids in the car at 7:08.
That being said. Lexi is pretty easy, and has gotten easier throughout the year. While Alexis has gotten easier, Jeffrey has gotten worse. Case in point today... he went to bed at a decent time, and he got up relatively early - 6:40. I thought it would be a breeze this morning. I must have been crazy. He was awake, cranky, yelling, trying to get out of Aaron's reach - he did not want to get dressed. I could hear him screaming/arguing from Lexi's room. It was ridiculous. He was finally spanked and came to me. Poor Lexi and I didn't know what to say or do.... I put Alexis down and finished dressing and getting Jeffrey ready. It was a horrible start to the week! I put him in the car and he was fine. I e-mailed Aaron, and he said the kids were fine.
How can he go from this 
to this?!?!?
to this?!?!?
I promise, it does get easier. Sometimes! We still have our morning where we have a rough start, but thankfully we don't need to get anywhere at any specific time yet. Your kids are seriously darling though! I'd love to meet up sometime this summer when we're in California. Let me know!
