The little things

Some nights I think I have the best little family in the whole world. The stars align and the little things that usually bother me don't matter so much. What matters is that LMA practiced her piano (without tears) and has her piece almost memorized. That E got in trouble and apologized all on her own. There is a pile of laundry as high as the washer but I didn't let it put me in a bad mood. Tonight we had J's b-day cake early and the girls went to bed all on their own, without any fuss. They looked so sweet when I went to check on them. Some nights I'm just lucky and grateful.
