Faux Alarm Clock

So, I always thought there was no other sound more irritating than that of the grating BEEP of the alarm clock going off in the morning. I was wrong. Three children screaming their heads off in unison first thing in the morning definitely takes the cake!!! :) Don't get me wrong, I love my kiddos dearly, but that fighting scream that takes place every morning (usually either 'Josh pushed me!' or 'I want Lucky Charms first!') is getting REALLY old! Once they're settled and eating, it usually takes a break. But, depending on the type of breakfast they have, it can start right back up again within minutes! Ah, the joys of motherhood!

But, of course, mixed in with those frazzled moments come the hilarious ones, or the super sweet ones, that I wouldn't miss for the world!!!

Like the other day, we were having breakfast. Andrew decided he wanted a different spoon. So, he asked for a 'tiny spoon'. Ok. So I brought him the smallest baby spoon we have. Then he said, 'No! A tiny spoon!' I said that that was a tiny spoon! Did he want a big spoon? 'Yes'. So, I got a big spoon. 'No! A tiny spoon!' Well, I ended up giving him about 6 spoons altogether, but he had the biggest grin on his face! He kept passing the spoons out to everyone, then taking them back and counting them! It was hilarious! :)
