Mom of the Year

1. Yesterday morning Alex woke up whiny and teary. We had had a babysitter the night before (we're so social!), so I figured she just needed a little extra TLC. As she was crying, I picked her up and sat her on my lap and gave her a big hug. She stopped crying after a few seconds of hugging and then sat there silently, head resting on my shoulder -- it was one of those parenting moments that makes you feel so needed and so full of love. Turns out she had spotted her Fisher Price wise men perched on the window sill and was plotting a way to reach them.
2. Both girls are sick today, but I took them to an indoor playground anyway. Just doing my part to strengthen other kids' immune systems. Here, have some snot.
