Today, what a great day :)  Started a little ummm unbalanced, but quickly balanced itself and turned out to be quite a great day.  Tempers were fairly well restrained by all which made for a fairly peaceful day on that front, which was so nice.  Makes me smile just to think about it.  


Another thing today which made me realise that perhaps we're not doing such a bad job of raising some lovely little people.  Master O (4 1/2) was helping his little brother (2 1/2) to climb up the slippery dip part of the jumping castle so he could slide down.  How proud I was of him!  I had that lump in my throat, you know the one where you are trying to hold back a tear?  That lump.  In that moment I thought, wow, perhaps we aren't doing so bad at this after all.  Maybe things do sink in and they do hear things that are said and explained to them.  So proud! :)
