Mornings are a bit crazy in our house. I have a morning routine planned out in my mind, but for whatever reason the kids do not realize the importance of it and when it comes to waking them up the challenge begins. M is by far the easiest, B on the other hand..its like waking up a hibernating bear! Most mornings I have to threaten that if he doesn't get up I am going to be forced to leave him in the house alone while I take M to school. Extreme fear factor to a 3 yr old. Once they are up and going, its a dash to dress, brush teeth, make breakfast, and pack a lunch, and have everyone out the door by 7:30 at the latest.
Without fail every morning they both have a sock issue. They are so much like Dave and I in the stubborn sense that we regularly just look at each other and laugh. If M's sock is not perfectly lined up across her toes with the line in the sock all hell breaks loose until she can get it fixed. If B's sock is too scrunched up on the heel, again all hell breaks loose. And God forbid if they accidentally put the other's sock on. I have never seen anything like this. I am wondering if they are picking up some of my OCD tendencies, but instead of checking the doors twice before bed they are focusing on their feet.
On a separate note, as a parent I am not grossed out by too many things that happen with them with the exception of a loose tooth! This is a new realm for me, and it disgusts me. M knows that it does she she is now intentionally showing me out far back she can bend a tooth. Ugh. I secretly pray every morning that it falls out at school so I don't have to witness it. I have no problems with the tooth after its out of the mouth, but still attached is too much for me to handle.
So, here is to hoping that at school today that nasty tooth falls out before she makes it back home to torture me another night with watching it go back and forth. And that their socks stay on straight:)
