Nathaniel did the sweetest, and very loving, gesture yesterday morning. He really loves his mom~ He offered to let me sleep in by getting up with Madelyn and Caleb. He tried doing this for me on Tuesday morning, but he wasn't aware that I was up at 6:20 with Cole. I had gone down into our basement with Cole, because I didn't want to disturb my other three sleeping children. Nathaniel had got up, went into Caleb's bed and laid down. His plan was going to keep Caleb occupied in his room while I slept longer. Madelyn and Caleb share a room (for now). She is in a toddler bed and Caleb is in a full size bed. Anyway, yesterday morning, Nathaniel had got up with Caleb and Madelyn. He had them in the basement watching a video while I slept. He is so sweet. I woke up at 7:30 with Cole, and didn't even notice the time. I nursed Cole, snoozed off a bit, and woke up. I looked at the clock and it was 8:00. Nathaniel still had to get ready for school, eat breakfast, and get on the bus. I think he maybe wanted to "skip" out on school that day. Who knows, there maybe some fringe benefits to home schooling him next year if we go that route. :)

I am glowing from my thoughtful kids!
I have to share my two latest stories of my kids with their thoughtful ways!
Yesterday, Nathaniel was telling me that his new teacher has an actual mailbox in her room. Kids can put special notes in there from their parents, or papers can be put in there, etc. Nathaniel said this is great, because last year he wasn't sure if his notes got lost on his teacher's desk, or if she got the paper/notes. So, he said to me, "On the first day of school, I put a note in my teacher's mailbox telling her what a wonderful first day of school I had."
**He is such a thoughtful, and caring boy!
Tonight, Nathaniel came home with a bag of clothes from his friend's house. The clothes were mostly for Nathaniel (clothes that his friend has outgrown). Nathaniel said that there was a costume in there for Caleb, and shoes for Maddie to grow into. Caleb said, "Can I go over and tell them thank you for the costume?"
**I love that he was thinking of thanking them even before we said something. That is so thoughtful, too!
