Bye Bit, have a good day...

Every morning at our house is chaos! Well, on school days that is. I get Brit up while trying to finish up myself, then get Aidan. Aidan is sure to wake up NOT wanting to be talked to...Brit wakes up ready to tell you his plans for world domination! Me, I am running from room to room making sure teeth are brush, clothes are on, lights are off, breakfast is eaten, backpacks are on, shirts are tucked in, well...you get the picture...I have a system...while any bystander would look at us and say, "holy cow, this is CHAOS"....it is a system, one I have perfected...for us.. In the bustle of the day, Brit and Aidan get in the car and off we go. Brit jabbers all the way to school, Aidan, thumb in mouth, looking like he'd rather be in bed. But when we get to Brit's school something happens...Brit gets out of the van and looks back before he closes the door and says, "bye Mom, love you, bye Aidy." Aidan, without fail, responds, "Bye Bit, have a good day". To which Brit responds, "you too Aidy, I love you." Aidan then, "love you too."

I do believe this small exchange is so important not only to the boys day....but also to mine...It makes me feel like, they don't necessarily need me, for them, to love each other. They love each other just fine.....

I often tell people that while Aidan was in my tummy, before we found out he was a boy, I would pray that God would give me what Britton needed....if he needed a sister, a girl, but if he needed a brother, a boy...Seeing my boys together, you can tell...God answered that prayer..They are JUST what the other needed....

I'm proud of you boys...love, Mom
