A Great Birthday Breakfast

I woke up to my seven year old nudging me and saying, "Here, I made this for you." So sweet, my son had fixed me breakfast in bed. He got up by himself, made some instant oatmeal and toast, brought me juice, then returned when I was done to take it all back to the kitchen. I am the luckiest mom. Later, my husband asked, "Didn't you hear his alarm go off at four?" I didn't, and he explained that our son was so worried about not waking up in time that he set his alarm for four. My husband went in, told him he would have plenty of time and sent him back to sleep.
