4/2/08 happiness is....

first of all, i can’t believe 7 weeks have flown by since i’ve posted anything here! the whole point was to find just one thing a day that makes me happy and record it. the good news is, it hasn’t been 7 weeks of unhappiness, just busyness. there’s been much to be happy of and i just haven’t made the time to reflect on it here (which is one thing that makes me UNhappy!) anway, just a few happy things from recent days:
1) carter’s (my 4.5 year old son) excitement at the first steps of riding a bike and seeing him pedal about 50 yards on his own and turning around to see how far he’s gone…and the huge smile on his face at the sight of his accomplishment.
2) carter’s excitement about playing t-ball.
3) uma (our 1 year old great dane) actually showing signs of growing up (and not being a complete goober and menace to our six year old dane, hilde.
4) and last but not least, carter, with hand on mom’s belly, feeling his little brother kicking carter in the hand and “shout whispering”: “i can feel him! i can feel him!”

See more progress on: find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year
