Waking

This morning was one of the few where I actually got up before the children.  I forced myself to set my alarm to get up and get some 'class' preparations done before the school day starts.  I can't say that I am enjoying the early morning yet, but being prepared will make up for the groggy feeling I have.  Last night while helping the children with snacks before bed, I was feeling tired and grumpy.  Then Solomon came in the room and while telling Justus something, he was giggling.  His joy is so contagious. With that one giggle, I was smiling.  I love how he spreads his 'boing-boing' joy to those around him.

Speaking of joyful folks.  I have two boys who are awake now and one of them is giggling. I best go and giggle with them.
