Good Days

I was thinking today how it seems the smallest things make the difference between just another day and the really good ones. Yesterday, it was seeing my kids so excited for their first trip to the library. Lily made a beeline to the shelves, intent on finding a pink book about animals- which she managed to do in about 3.5 seconds! Zany Zoo, which in case anyone was wondering, is the oddest collection of poems I have ever read, including one about a lazy agouti. What in the world is that you ask? (I am assuming you would ask because I surly did!) Through the wonder of Google I discovered it is a Brazilian rodent. Anyways, the lazy agout wouldn't help her sister clean and ended up getting eaten by a tiger and her sister who had worked so hard was thrilled because she got to eat both of their servings of ice cream. Pretty safe to say we will NOT be checking out Zany Zoo again.
But I degress. Next stop was the park, where Aidan's eyes sparkled as he learned new tricks on the slanted parralel bars. A boy was playing that was a few years older than him and patiently taught him how to slide down with his legs hooked over and no hands holding on. I was so proud of him for being brave. Also- a moment to cherish in my memory box was Ernesto and Lily dancing outside the car as the radio played, faces glowing, smiles so big they practically split their faces.
Spending time with my family is such an amazing feeling, I cannot imagine life without them.
I love you all.
