Hailey is growing up!

We had one of those nights last night! All three of the kids got up in the middle of the night and woke me up for various reasons. Although the sleep has been much better, I'm not sure if we will ever get completely past these nights. Hopefully they will just become less often. Needless to say I was not that enthusiastic about getting up and getting everybody ready for school. When I finally did stumble out of bed - only slightly late. I immediately ran into Hailey in the kitchen completely dressed and eating her breakfast. She had the supplies next to her for me to fix her hair. She had already done her chores and taken her medicine. She was very proud of herself, as was I. Her biggest concern was had she been quiet enough to not wake anybody. Now I know this was just one day and tomorrow I will probably have to drag her out of bed or remind her to get her stuff done. But today I am impressed with my eight year old daughter. And today we had time for a full devotional before school and Josh and Hailey left for school thirty minutes before it would start. It also gives me hope that if she can do it once, eventually she will do it daily with no reminders The only problem is I was still responsible for Ashley and myself and we were a little late.
