Small Good Things

1. After some unpleasantness in the 3-6 era (it seemed like he was waking every hour?) I brought Tiny Boy in bed with me, pointed out that it was still DARK and mommy was SLEEPING.  I rubbed his back and the next thing I knew it was 8:07.  Yay.
2. Farmer's Market goodness.  It's a walk, it's kids playing at the park, it's eating samples and chit chat with neighbors and farmers.  What's not to like?
3. I had the oven on all afternoon.  I made pumpkin pancakes and roasted veggies and potatoes and BBQ chicken in the crockpot.  Then some grains for breakfast and a soup for tomorrow.  Yum.
4. Chasing Tiny Boy around the kitchen to feed him.  Really, it was fun.  And he actually ate all kinds of things directly from my finger.
5. Kids had a babysitter this afternoon for two hours so I could grade stuff.  And as I was driving to a cafe I frequent it occurred to me that I could go to the university art museum (that I was driving past) and sit in their cafe and grade things and see art.  Man, that was good for my soul.  And then I came home and found children walking home from the park.  Good times for everyone.

Now, if only Tiny Boy would go to sleep--yes, it's 8:50 and he is still full of jibber-jabber--and stay asleep, this day might actually be perfect.
