"Good Morning" is an Understatement

When I blog, I usually write about our afternoon excursions. Well today I'm going to switch it up a bit and write about part of our day that only a handful of people have ever experienced, as we usually don't get visitors first thing in the morning (thank goodness!!!).

All the boys wake up around 7:00. At that time either their Daddy or I goes downstairs to get the boys their milk, drop it off in the nursery, open the blinds, say our good mornings, and leave the room. I then lay in bed while listening to a bunch of triplet jibber-jabber and giggles (way better than any morning radio show I used to wake up to!). When I can tell that the boys are starting to get restless, I get out of bed, brush my teeth and head to the nursery. Let the fun begin...

This video captures a typical morning entrance... Sorry about my annoying morning baby voice and the head turning... I still haven't figured out how to rotate video clips.

Bath time~ The boys always take their baths or get cleaned up first thing each morning. I usually only have 2 in the tub at the same time, but having all 3 works out nicely too. All the boys love bathtime and have a blast playing in the water! We can hardly wait to go swimming down at Grandma and Grandpa's house in a few weeks, and go to Auntie Kate's neighborhood pool with her and Isabelle. Plus, our little pool will soon be set-up in our backyard! Yippee... It's almost summer!!!

Binkies now stay in the cribs, but in the mornings the boys search and search for them. Here Aidan is trying to steal one out of Liam's crib...

Liam gets even by drinking every last drop out of all three sippys.

Connor is showing us how he can brush his own teeth. I do, however, make sure to get all teh spots he missed once he is done with his cleaning.

Breakfast time... Cherrios, Oatmeal, Waffles, Pears and Apples. Most of it ends up in their tummies, but a lot gets dropped on the floor... still working on mealtime manners.

While I clean the breakfast mess, the boys always play nicely in the family room. The Kangaroo Climber is usually the first toy they hit for the day, and then they make their rounds.

After the boys get dressed, they continue to play until nap time.

Sometimes they prefer to play alone...

But often they choose to play together... Honestly there is not a better sight for me to see than my little guys playing nicely together, making each other laugh. Truly priceless!!!

After play and a little video, it's back up the stairs for their morning nap. Notice that the boys are learning how to go up the stairs by themselves... it takes a lot longer to do it this way (my guys are very easily distracted), but I think the benefits will soon be worth the effort... no more back pain in the near future!!!
Connor is ready to chill and then sleep, with his crib tent and all...

So that is what a typical morning looks like in our home. In my opinion, a pretty great way to start every day :-).
