I'm sitting in bed, with one eye on the football game and the other eye on the girls doorway. Morgan has been stacking blocks in front of the door for a few minutes. I should send her back to bed, but she's in her room at least. Lizzy has been quiet for awhile, so I assume she finally fell asleep.
I was wrong.
Lizzy pushes past Morgan and her block tower to come into my room.
Me: "What are you doing? You need to be in your bed."
Lizzy: "I'm coming to say I'm sorry."
Me: "I forgive you. But you do need to go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Lizzy, hugging me: "I know. But this is just a tough day."
Me: "What's tough about it?"
Lizzy: "It's just hard having this much family, especially Morgan."
Oh, they are going to be awesome as teenagers........
