Today was a great day. We stayed busy and the kids got to play with their "buddies" while mommy had an appointment. Today was a great reminder of something I had forgotten. Whenever you have a day like yesterday that makes you think, "Really? This is what I signed up for??", the next day is a new day. Wonderful, sweet, kind, funny kids can emerge from the same room you left little monsters last night! It's a beautiful thing.
The other night Macy was having a hard time sleeping so after listening to her for awhile, I went in and rocked her. (something I don't get to do that much of) I always love this time with whoever it is that I'm rocking, alone time with one of the kids is rare, so I soak up what I can. She was laying in my arms and my mind, sadly, was on a million things and not relishing this time as much as usual. I looked down at her and she looked back at me and as straight faced as she could she pressed her lips together and made the "P" sound at me repeatedly and turned away. For some strange reason this struck me as hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing! She took note of that and after I calmed down, she repeated this several times. She never laughed or showed any emotion, just wanted to make me laugh. In the days that have followed, every now and again she will walk straight up to me and pop her "P's" at me and just bring me to tears! She now knows how to make mommy laugh and uses it to her advantage!
