My helper

Ada's standing job is to help me out in the mornings.  I'm not much of a morning person and my kids are arranged so that I'm okay with mornings so far.  Sam wakes up about 7:30-8 gets himself dressed and we go get him some breakfast.  I get Ada's breakfast ready while I'm there because she usually gets up about the time we're in the kitchen.  Then I get Evelyn's sippy cup ready and turn it over to Ada.  I eat and take a shower.  *If* Evelyn wakes up while I'm showering then Ada's job is to get her out of bed and give her the sippy cup and get her some cereal.  If she doesn't then I do it.  I love it when Ada does it though... it's so cute to hear them giggling and playing.  And fun to see that Ada has willingly helped.  Especially since Evelyn insists on giving anyone who gets her out of bed both her blankets and any toys that she'd slept with to carry around.  Ada will carry them all the way to wherever Evelyn wants and drop them there.  It's so fun to see those sisters work together.
