The Simple Things

I just love my kids.

-We had new beds delivered yesterday at the same time that the roofers were here doing repairs. The squeals of delight were precious as they watched the men go up and down the ladder and saw the delivery truck arrive. You would have thought it was Christmas around here. They love love love their new beds. Madilyn had been sleeping on a really old mattress that I bought for my first apartment 20 years ago while Melodi had been sleeping in a toddler bed with her crib mattress. It was definetly time for new beds. Both girls were so excited to show daddy their new beds when he got home last night. Melodi kept telling us that she is a big girl now. There were giggles last night as we put them to bed and smiles this morning. It was all very cute.

-They had a play date yesterday with a friend at McDonalds (thanks Caroline). There were more giggles and excitement. Play dates have been rare up to this point as we've been busy with therapies for years. It's so nice to know that these can become more common now.

-Today we are going to bake together. I call it "cooking with mommy time." They are both so excited to be in the kitchen and want to help with everything. It's a nice bonding time for us.

Their happiness is a good reminder for me. Life gets too complicated/stressful, sometimes you just have to enjoy the simple stuff.
