Military With Kids

“If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.” I love this statement made by Admiral William H. McRaven in his commencement speech at the University of Texas at Austin in 2014.

Never have I understood this truth more clearly than as a parent! My little guys are currently 4 and 5 years old. Every morning they are expected to make their bed. Now, this is quite the challenge when you consider they are like a T-Rex with tiny arms that can’t reach across the bed. The difficulty is amplified since their beds are each against a wall, making it nearly impossible for success when working with traditional sheets and comforter.
