1. I'm starting to find toys in odd places and it makes me smile. One morning, I found a stacking cup in the muffin tin under the stove. And last week, there was a Saltine cracker neatly stuck in the toe of my boot.
2. The surprise of sunshine. I came to accept the fact that Chicago winters would just be long and dreary, but truly it has not been terrible. When we have amazingly sunny days, I am utterly delighted.
3. Watching Ella stand on her tippy toes to get a better look at something. Or better yet, watching her wobbly little legs and feet as she walks along side me, holding my hand.
4. Realizing that Noah understands lots of what I say. The other day, we were packing up to leave a friend's house and out of the blue, he says 'bye' and waves his little hands. Or, yesterday morning, he was missing a sock and I asked him where it was. He got up and went right to it.
5. These tulip fields -don't they just make you happy to look at them?
