I'm sure all parents have moments like this...
My inlaws are coming this afternoon. We spent the majority of last night cleaning the house. Brian was cleaning his library, I was vacuuming, and Aria(6) was picking up her toys. The downstairs was finished, but the upstairs still needed a clean sweep.
I awoke to odd sounds coming from the living room...little squeaks and sloshing noises...probably the tanks~I dismissed it and drifted back to sleep...some time latter I awoke to a loud clatter...I could hear Aria humming and talking...I assumed she was playing and went back to sleep.
We were woken up by a sweet little voice..."it's 8:57, time to get up! Grandma and Grandpa will be here soon!"
~oh yea...house cleaning to finish...oh joy....
Before I could get my contacts in Aria grabs my hand and stays chattering" guess what I did while you and daddy were sleeping!!!!"
....hmm..
uh-oh I thought.....
Aria excitedly drags me into her room..."See! I cleaned my whole room!!! and that's not all!!!!
I managed to get my contacts in before she pulled me into the living room.
"I cleaned the WHOLE upstairs..SURPRISE!!!"
Now fully awake I looked around in amazement. The living room was spotless, the floor was swept and mopped. The coffee table was cleaned off and the magazines were stacked neatly....
"I cleaned the kitchen TOO!!!"
"Blink...blink"....she had...the floors were swept and mopped...she had wiped off the table...
I gave her a huge hug and kiss. "My angel, thank you sweetie, thank you very much. Her sweet face beamed back at me. God may have taken her wings, but he let her keep her halo.
