Yesterday I woke up around 2am with a horrible headache. I tossed and turned for a few hours and finally got back to sleep around 5ish. At 7:50 my oldest walks into the room and wakes me up. I asked her what was wrong and she said "Mommy, its 7:50 and we have to go to school". My head was still pounding and I was feeling sick but as my brain started waking up to what she was telling me I felt panic run through me. I started to get up and was apologizing to her and she said "its okay Mommy, we got dressed and I made waffles for us and brushed Mikayla's hair and made our lunches." I just looked at her through my fuzzy morning eyes and felt tears building. I couldn't believe my little daughter got everyone all ready and let me sleep in. I was proud of her for doing it but a little sad too that she didn't need me. She is growing up and she is amazing me every day. She is such a polite little lady; she's self-motivated and always wanting to make people happy. I love you Caitlin! You make Mommy very proud.

Great job mom (and dad) for teaching your daughter to be the independent, thoughtful young lady she has become!
