Charmed

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the stressful things in life: money, jobs, insurance, etc., and then I have a morning like today.

Today I got to take Ethan with me to an exercise class with friends and watch him play nicely with others.

I got to take him to the library, read him a few train books, and watch him dance to the songs at baby time.

I got to hear him say "sorry Mommy" for closing a door before I got to go through it and "Mommy ee-ooo-vee" because I told him how to say movie and asked him to remind me to turn on his DVD player after I started the car.

I got to hold him in my lap, at his request, while we shared a protein shake (excuse my post-workout "grunginess").

And then, I got to cuddle in his recliner with him under a blanket to read a train book before his nap.

I lead a charmed life in so many ways.
