wednesday

1. when jeff gets up with lea to let me sleep in a little - i will always be repeating this one since it starts the day so wonderfully
2. lea picking out mother's day cards today at longs, finding one that has music, then proceeding to have a dance party in the isles and make everyone around her smile and laugh
3. lea and i painted again for the third day...i hope we can keep this going for always
4. new perspectives on how to get lea to sleep better and feeling confident we'll figure it out....i'm beginning to believe confidence is most of the battle!
5. spending a peaceful evening with jeff, eating, talking about our days, making each other laugh, and communicating

nugget: being a good parent doesn't mean my whole identity needs to be wrapped up into the task. on the contrary! lea loves to paint, not because she really knows what's going on yet, but because she feels how much i love it. i'm certain she knows how happy it makes me.
