Such a big help in the morning

Seriously mornings like today Ben acts like he is way more older than an almost 2 yr old. Getting Alicia ready for school in the morning can be a challenge and Ben is such a good helper at getting her moving along. Lol. First off he tries waking her up way earlier than needed (aka Ben likes getting up at about 5am lately). Usually we try shielding Alicia from Ben and his little brother wake-up abilities of pulling on her hair, body slamming her, etc., until she really needs to be up getting ready for school.
Typical mornings we sometimes have tv/radio on while getting ready and when my timer goes off to get ready for bus, Ben shouts "Ali-bus!" And then runs around finding stuff, first he shuts off tv (and Alicia yells at him as she wants to keep it on) and then he goes downstairs to get his coat, shoes, hat . Seriously this kid keeps me on top of things. Without Ben , Alicia and I might forget something ;-) he starts spouting off , "Ali, coat, hat" and spending on mood, either "shoes - boots" and I get the extra reminder of "mommy, keys" just incase I forgot we needed to drive Alicia out to the bus stop. :-) this morning he actually put his boots on all by himself too instead of just handing them to me for help. Oh, such a big helper boy.
