It's The Little Things

Tonight I went to a neighborhood party and it was actually fun! Nothing crazy happened. We ate, drank, talked and laughed. Neither of the boys had any kind of meltdown, they both ate something and neither of them got into any kind of scuffle with any of the other dozen or so toddlers at the party. They're just getting to that age when the two of them can each play and have enough direction from us to be "good" boys (or at least have the potential to be).

So I'm happy. I'm just happy that we could be at a social gathering, that I could talk to a few people without interruption, that my boys played by themselves a little without any controversy or tears, and that my husband was so helpful.

It may not seem like much to some but to me, it was a monumental evening.

It's the little things that make me happy these days.
