Today

Today was one of those days that makes you feel kinda like a supermom but totally wiped out and incapable of repeating such a day again. Nothing crazy happened but there were just enough events to make me feel like a whirling dervish and that is not a feeling I recommend. Some observations about today:

-an unexpected cozy nap with birds chirping and the windows open is awesome. awesome. I prefer the dark quiet naps, but today was lovely.

-Noah had a friend come home from school with him. Kids think riding a different bus is HUGE.

-boys may be as much drama as girls. "He was like, and then I was like, and then he went like this, and then I went like this, and like OH, awesome". This is about what every conversation sounds like with Noah. And he's ALWAYS. referring. to. sports. He gives me the play by play of every game of soccer, basketball and football at recess every single day.

-It's a stage, but Wesley is much nicer to Noah than Noah is to Wesley. I find this super annoying and frustrating although obviously a big brother is more interesting than a little brother. Noah's tone, attitude, and facial expressions can be very rude and it hurts my heart knowing how in love with Wesley Noah was as a baby.

-Cleaning out clothes that are too small, packaging them up, and dropping them on a friends porch is gratifying on multiple levels. 

-Noah is really lucky to have such a great teacher and such a great school.

-Wesley is a swell kid. Easy going, loves to have fun, gets along with anyone, and loves his sister fiercely.

-Macy loves the sun, the grass, her swing, bubbles, the trampoline, dirt, and pretzels.

-Our trampoline was the best purchase Brian and I have made in our married life.

-As a parent who worked, I get it. But I still really wish that all parents would keep their feverish kids away from school for the 24 hours that policy states.

-I successfully grilled juicy chicken tonight! Brian does all the grilling but he's been coaching me, so it paid off tonight! :)
