So I am constantly trying to think of new and exciting ways to get the kids up and moving in the mornings. With Adam working out of town, and me alone on Mondays, this is much like herding turtles. This week I resorted to an old trick, after many attempts to light a fire under them, I announced, "The last one dressed is a rotten egg." It was opening day, and we were all wearing our Reds gear. I questioned Adam Jr. about if he was going to finish getting dressed. He came in to TJ's room to be sure that TJ was wearing the same outfit as him (reds jersey and jeans). I told him TJ was going to be the last one dressed. He then dutifully stands next to me with his little head sticking out of his shirt, but his arms not through. He tells me he won't finishing getting dressed until TJ is dressed because TJ shouldn't have to be the rotten egg. I think they are all too sweet to be rotten eggs. Back to the drawing board for this week.
