I heard my 14-year-old son get up at 4:30 am and head downstairs. He sometimes walks in his sleep, so I listened carefully. After using the bathroom, I heard him getting out dishes. "Uh, oh!" I thought, and I headed downstairs to herd him back to bed.
When he saw me, he said, "Mom! You're not supposed to be up yet!" He was preparing to surprise me by making me breakfast in bed for my birthday! He said Dad told I usually get up about 5:30, so he set his alarm for an hour earlier. I told him I thought he could get a little more sleep, that I'd wake him when I was ready to get up (which ended up being around 6:00). He got up and made me scrambled eggs and toast. Breakfast was great, but truly, it was the thought that counts. I don't think I will ever forget this! Laurie |
