Waking up on the right side of the bed

This morning we were a little worried because it was getting close to the time to leave for work and Brenden was still not awake. He tends to do much better and be a little happier when he can wake up on his own and without us prompting him in the mornings. We were dreading being the alarm clock today and put off getting him up until the very last second. In preparation for waking up the bear, we turned on the hall light so we would could actually see into his room. After we turned on the light he started to yell - "Mommy, I'm awake! Mommy, I'm awake!" Brooke went into his room and was very surprised to see him smiling when she walked in. "Goooooood Morning Mommy! How's your nap?" came right out when she walked in. We could not believe it. He actually woke up in a GREAT mood! He let us dress him, talk to him, and get him ready to get out the door without fighting at all! He grabbed his backpack, drink, and turned off the lights before he walked out. He said hugged Bobby goodbye and then turned around to wave one last time he noticed that Bryleigh was still inside. "Daddy," he said. "I think baby sister want to go to Nana's house too. I think him (he always calls Bryleigh him) want to go...cuz...cuz...I will miss him!" It was the sweetest thing we think he has ever said about his baby sister and our hearts just melted at the idea of him actually missing her while he's gone! In that moment we realized that he is probably the best big brother in the world (yeah we're biased) and that there are definitely miracles to speak about when you wake up on the "right side of the bed"! If only we could find that side of the bed EVERY morning! ;)
