Breakfast in Bed

Cathie and I were woken up by Emily coming into our room telling us, "Mom and Dad, even if you're awake, stay in bed." Two minutes later, the kids came in bringing both Cathie and I breakfast in bed. My plate consisted of toast, orange slices, melon slices, bacon and licorice along with the newspaper and a cup of coffee. They figured out how to make the bacon in the microwave by reading the instructions on the box and they figured out how to make the coffee by pour the water and grounds into the coffee pot and then pouring it back into the coffee maker. When your kids do something selfless and thoughful like this all on their own, it makes you feel like you're doing something right as a parent.
