(or one of those days!) that I'm truly glad to be a stay at home mom. I wouldn't have wish to be anywhere else in the whole world.
Why? You may ask...
I dunno, it was just a good day. Mostly it was small things... which is what my days are made up of so really that is saying quite a bit.
Cute things like:
Making Goober lunch for school for the first time and having him uber excited over what I packed him.
Having Missy My cuddle on my lap for a while as we sat and watched Incredibles for the umpteenth time... and the added bonus that it's actually a show I can handle watching that many times!
Looking at Little Li with his new haircut and thinking that my baby is getting so big. He will soon be a toddler. Time flies so fast!
Watching Li toddle around... soon he won't be loosing his balance every 8 steps or so.
Having our wonderful neighbor having Missy over to play with the other kids while Li was down for a nap and Goober was at school.
Having Goober tell me that he shared his candy (which I packed as dessert) with some of his friends at lunch time... color me pink that he thought to do that. Something I'm teaching IS sinking in!!! Either that or he's just nice sometimes... but I'll still take credit. :D
Having Li cry when I leave the room. I know that sounds sappy and he does it for just about anyone in the family... if Goober or anyone else leaves the room he cries too. But I like the fact that sometimes I'm missed not because I'm not there to get a blanket or something to eat, but just 'cause he doesn't want me to leave.
Having Goober, Missy, and Li, play in the sandbox and NOT FIGHT! Hallelujah!!!
While Missy and Goober were in the bath after said sandbox Li came and just lay on the floor between my feet and just looked at me. Content as could be. So Cute.
So ya. Some days are great. On the really bad days I need to be able to remember that. I maybe by writing it down more often I will. Usually I don't find the time to write about the "just" good days. I'm going to work on that more... It makes life better for everyone :)

Oh, the wonderful things.
So I realized I usually sound waaaaaay pissy in my posts. or pessimistic. or irritated. However you want to put that ...
So I thought I would do a post about the things I love about my family. And while the blurbs get shorter as I go down it's only because the person I'm talking about hasn't had as many years on this world. And I'm so excited to learn from them as they get older about all the wonderful things they can do and the wonderful people they can become. So, Here goes.
My Sweet Hubby
Man, this guy does so much for me. He puts the 2 older kids to bed almost every night, he makes dinner when I don't feel up to it. He changes diapers, no complaints. He lets me get a little more sleep in the morning when I'm just plumb tuckered out and Li wakes me up at 6 am. He cleans! and by clean I mean... he's much more efficient than I am. I obsess over perfect cleaning... he just gets it done and knows when people will stop noticing the extra effort. He does toilets. He makes me feel attractive and worth while when I feel most grungy. I love the fact that even though he spends literally ALL day talking on the phone to customers, he still feels the need to tell me about his day when he gets home, and ask me about mine. He plays with the kids and lets them climb all over him. He is a really good dad.
My Sweet Little Goober
I complain a load about my kids. I really need to try harder not to. They really try to be good and do what I ask. Goober is a wonderful kid. He helps out SO much with his siblings (sometimes too much), if I ask him to go get something for Missy My or Little Li he is on it in a heartbeat. If my hands are full and I see Little Li crawling toward something he needs to stay away from, I ask him to pick up Li and move him, and Goober does it happily. In fact he gets really frustrated with Missy My when she doesn't do what I ask her... and tries to enforce it himself. While this can be really frustrating for myself and Missy My, his intentions are really good. He loves to pretend, and he loves to play with both of his siblings... sometimes it's "Spider Man and Mary Jane" with Missy My, other times it just making Little Li laugh as much as possible. he is a really great kid!
Missy My
She is such a mommas girl. And while at times that can get way annoying, she loves to cuddle and she loves to tell me randomly that she loves me. I love this. It's good to be reminded once in a while that my kids DO care about more than just the fact that I make sure they live through the day and that they get sustenance at every meal. She pulls the funniest faces. She is such a character.
Little Li
I am SO glad he is so good natured. Even when he is sick he doesn't complain a ton. he is inquisitive and loves to explore and while that can be a handful, I'm so glad he is engaged in what is going on around him. He is such a cutie.
