Most days I have the house to myself in the mornings, and I get ready for work without seeing another sleepy soul. But this particular day I had company. Benjamin had tumbled out of bed early and come in search of me.

While we snuggled on the couch I noticed all of the Fisher Price people — and animals, too — were lined up on top of our toddler’s toy box.

“Did you do that?” I asked. A giggle was the answer.

I had to admit, it did look nice, even though toys spilled out underneath and the carpet needed vacuuming. In the chaos of life, every little bit of order helps.
