The little things

Today I am grateful for some of the little things in life.  Like the fact that my kids are very self-entertaining.  I don't know if I am just a bad mom, if they were neglected as babies when I went back to work, or if I am just really, really lucky but Laney and Allie both can entertain themselves for a significant amount of time.  And that makes me really happy.  Especially about 6pm when Allie gets a little needy and wants only me to hold her.

And I am also grateful that Laney has changed her sleeping ways.  For a week or two we were having some nap issues.  She was only taking one every few days and I was going crazy.  But the past three days she has taken a nap, without even a peep from her when I put her in bed.  (She has also started putting her pillow and blanket on the floor for nap time but I think that is just weird.)  And to make things even better she is sleeping until after 7am.  I am happy.

And today I am really grateful that I live in AZ and I did not have to change my clock.  I know you got an extra hour of sleep.  But I also know that kids don't understand that.  So I am glad that I do not have to deal with Daylight Savings time.

Now if Allie could get rid of her cold then I would be really, really happy.  But until then I will be grateful for what I got.
