Bracken is usually eating breakfast when Chandra wakes up. As soon as he hears her coos or crys he freezes and says, "Mom! Chandra is awake!" then scrambles down from his high chair to run to her side and talk to her. "Good morning Precious, hello Little Sweetheart! Did you sleep like a duck? It's okay, Bracken is here." When I change her diaper he always grabs the dirty diaper to throw away for me, walking slowly and looking at me until I notice him and make a big deal about it.
Then our morning continues: Green smoothies and pancakes for breakfast, dishes, do our Big 5(bed made, hair combed, say prayers, brush teeth, get dressed), sing our scripture song and read scriptures, and then play on the floor with these adorable munchkins. After our little routine we either do house chores, some activity at home, or go play with Bracken's friends Bella or Jairus. Our days are not always smooth, but sticking to this little morning routine makes a huge difference.

I love the "Big 5" idea! That is awesome! We need a better morning routine...
