All the Small Things

A few things that made me smile this week:

Small Potty Training Success: It was short-lived, but the 2 times Luke did go potty were enough to make me smile.

Tayson's Journal: I have journals for each of the kids that I write milestones or funny things they do in (this has slowed down considerably since I joined the world of blogging since I write most of it here instead). Last night, Tayson came in my room and wanted to read from his journal about when he was born. Then we read other fun stories from the past 6 years and he was so excited to hear stories about himself and it was fun to remember all the silly things he did.

Todd's Sleeping Habits: Most of the time I complain about how late Todd stays up (usually between 1:00 am and 3:00 am). But last night when Claire was up until 3:00 and I slept straight through the whole thing because he kept her with him I was so grateful for his crazy sleeping habits.

A Bike Ride: I was helping some friends get their bikes ready for their big race in a few weeks and I couldn't remember exactly how the gears worked so I took the bike for a 2 block spin...it made me miss riding but it made me happy to ride.

Open Windows: We have been sleeping with one of our bedroom windows open for a week now, except the rainy nights. I love the breeze and the smell of sleeping with the windows open. Very soon it will be too hot at night to sleep if the A/C isn't on full blast - so I'm enjoying it while I can.
