Little Happies

1. Children not watching movies before breakfast
2. Little ones snuggling up to me while reading
3. Swallows and Amazons.... and friends with a much better record and memory of books to recommend
4. Baby coos and 'hey, I am over here and I want to chat' noises
5. Finally, a kid in the 99% for height. And feet growing out of her six month shoes at two months
6. Morning schedule that is flexible yet persuasive, and color coded? Shah (with Wayne's World like inflection)
7. Communion. Grace.
8. Hot showers. Hot rice socks.
9. Trynee having kindness and reading to her siblings, mispronouncing wreath, irritable, bikini. It is mostly a function of emphasis/syllable
10. Annika's fun mannerisms and inflections
11. Tristan sweetly offering to warm up the rice sock for me whenever I needed it
12. Avoiding bedridden mastitis three times in three weeks
13. Gideon accidentally whacking me in my very sore boob and apologizing sweetly with MUCH empathy....."sohwee mama, sohwee!"
14. No one living with us.
15. Random stop in's by former roomies: Alexia, Mike, and Jon.
16. Managing to function with two massive in-law meltdowns
17 . Foils instead of single process
18. Not yelling. If I do apologizing promptly.
19. Getting through the dark doldrums of January
