You Make Me Happy, Too

I'm usually good for writing a "woe is me" entry once in a while as challenges with toddlers rear their head on a daily hourly basis, but I thought I'd take a different approach today. Today - for whatever reason - I want to say that I rock as a mom. (I think I'm a pretty good wife, too, but I don't think entries about stocking the beer fridge or sorting Erik's boot socks versus workout socks are that exciting.)

Did I take the boys to a park today? Nope. Did I bake them homemade cookies today? Nope. Was there about five different time out sessions today? Yep. Did they eat chicken nuggets two meals in a row? Yep. But who cares? Landon held me extra close for a good night snuggle this evening and randomly said "You make me happy, Mommy. I love you." Those were his exact words. He made sure he gave brother a good night kiss before I closed his door, too. So I obviously did something right.

Let us rejoice in this moment of joy and confidence, shall we?
