Early Saturday Mornings

As Tasha and I get older, our biological clocks have automatic snooze built in on the weekends. Unfortunately though, Jackson and London, the youngest, clocks have a spring forward affect that doesn't coincide without our snooze. Every Saturday, they are up early...before 6 AM. "Mommy I'm hungry!", "Can I play the X-Box?" or "Can you get up and play with me?" are normally the first words out presented by Jericho. However, today was quite different. London was already in the bed, and Jackson just wanted lay with us. We didn't have to get up, do anything to stop the noise; We were allowed to just lay there. This was how Paris and BJ were when they were little. They are 3 years apart and Jericho and London are 2. However, the closeness that the pairs share are uncanny. I believe that this is one of the raising 4 kids has been so enjoyable, the ability to split them in pairs. We are able to meet all their needs with this thought process. While Paris and BJ are involved in something, its not as if all 4 of the kids are busy and we are able to manage the chaos. We try to have everyone involved in something at the same time; that would be ludicrous. Two at a time however is very manageable. Also, it gives all the kids an opportunity to be supportive of one another because they do not have their own thing going on. Today however, nothing is going on so I will enjoy this moment with the little 2 as long as I can. Don't forget to enjoy your moments, as little as they come!
