Usually on preschool days, we get the older two kids ready and off to school before coming home to get the younger two ready. We'd come home, and I gave the little two some yogurt with their breakfasts. I told them to eat while I went upstairs to dry my hair. When I finished I heard cackling coming from the kitchen. As I made my way down the stairs I called out, "Should I be scared?" To which Drew replied, "Yes. Be very scared." I found this yogurt madness in the kitchen. It was one of those times that I had a hard time being mad because they were laughing with sheer happiness and fun. The kids know if they are genuinely laughing, I will often laugh too. It's like seeing someone yawn to me - it's contagious. No matter how much I don't want to, I can't help but laugh, too, sometimes (Edward doesn't particularly enjoy this at certain times of discipline!). Anyway, after a quick clean-up and quick bath, no harm was done and we were off to preschool - only 45 minutes late.
