Although we like to eat breakfast as a family, every once in a while Christian or Elliott will still be sleeping when it is time to eat. Given the rarity of this event, we usually just let them sleep in, thinking that they must be super tired.
Today when we gathered for our morning family prayer, Christian was still in bed. When Elliott (2) didn't notice him with the rest of the family he shouted "wait for Christian!" When we told him that Christian was still sleeping, he politely asked if he could go wake him up. At first we said no, but Julia and Ethan reported that they had already been in his room and he had been stirring in his bed. So, we gave the okay and off Elliott went. As he trekked down the stairs I could hear him saying "time for breakfast Christian, time for breakfast." After a couple of minutes, they both came up with smiles on their faces.
Elliott is my superhero today for making sure that his brother didn't miss out on breakfast with the family.
