Little things I am grateful for:

* Two recommendations for the same doctor when I put out a notice that we're searching for a new ped. That fills me with confidence about making the call on Monday.

* A baby who stayed up late enough that I know he's going to let me sleep in a bit in the morning. (But not too long, because the small one has ballet.)

* Being able to see the end of this (home)school year and look forward to our summer activities as well as the year to come.

* Getting the oldest a spot in a limited (and very inexpensive) swim lesson program that takes place before she goes to Girl Scout camp. (Her swimming skills, or lack thereof, were an issue for her last year.)

* That Middle Boy got up there on stage and recited all of his lines for our class play. Even if he was pacing in circles the whole time, he DID it.

* That Eldest was willing and able to jump in at the very last second and play a part on stage when another student realized he'd be more comfortable helping out backstage.

* The camporee I coordinated (with massive help from other volunteers) last weekend being a huge success. And all those volunteers who did extraordinary jobs feeding and entertaining 130 people.

* My upcoming Daisy troop for next year. I'm so excited about working with the little girls.

I am an incredibly blessed and lucky mama.
