Just an observation

I was rocking Eli before I put him to bed tonight, and from my chair in his room, I can see the kids bathroom. The kids have these little hourglass timers that the dentist gave them to help them brush longer. I watched as Aaron went in first and got his toothbrush out, put the toothpaste on the brush, put it up to his mouth and then turned over the timer. He watched as every morsel of sand went through to the bottom, and then he spit and rinsed. He scurried to his bed and then Alexis came dancing into the bathroom. She reached in and got her trusty timer and immediately turned it upside down, and then she got out her toothbrush, and well, you know the drill. As she brushed, about half-way through, her patience ran out, I guess, because she grabs the timer and begins shaking the poor thing silly! She spit, rinsed, and even managed to put all of it away with a few grains of sand left to go! You gotta admit, she's punctual.
