Morning Management Moments

I want to record a few things that have recently happened during our morning music:

Leila decided that she would pack the lunches during the “act of service” music.
It was very interesting to see what she thought was a good lunch! Not only is there a chocolate chip muesli bar in there (normally an after school treat), but also marshmallows and jelly frogs. I let her take it to school though.

Leila is also the champion at teeth, hair and sunscreen. She always is the first to leave the breakfast table and has finished her teeth by the time the rest of us arrive. All the girls like to dance to R.E.S.P.E.C.T using their hairbrushes as microphones. I’m planning to also introduce them to Aretha Franklin’s “Think” sometime very soon.

Bethany’s favourite morning job is setting the table for breakfast. One morning, she ran outside and came back with flowers to arrange as a centrepiece. My photo isn’t terribly good, because it was taken at night a few days later, when they were a bit “tired”. I wanted to record this, and remind myself how my beautiful Beth seems to naturally speak the language of flowers.

I'm going to actually have to make the playlist...
Some people at my place would like Leila to pack their lunches... but she'd struggle, because nothing yummy lasts until the morning time.
