Bits 'n Pieces of Happiness

Happiness is...

- when your husband says, "Man... You make Brussels sprouts taste good!"

- when your son proudly introduces you (to people who already know you), "That's my mommy!"

- when your breastfed daughter lets go of your nipple, looks up at you with a big grin as if to say, "Ahhh~~ That hit the spot, mommy!"

- when your son jumps excited by the dining table, "Yay! Dinner's here! Dinner's here!" as you're bringing the food out from the kitchen.

- when your son comments after taking a bite of the food you made, "Mmm! This is pretty good. Good job, mommy." 

- when your husband offers to take the kids so you can have a shower.

- when you pick up your upset baby girl and feel her give you a little squeeze with her arms that are wrapped around your neck.

- when you noticed how sophisticated your not-even-3-years-old son's language is getting with sentences like "I was wondering if I can have some of your yogurt, mommy." 

- when your baby girl's face lights up as soon as she sees her big brother.

- when he notices that his baby sister (who's napping on the floor) is waking up, your son, who has been playing quietly around her, drops his toys, goes to sit next to the baby, and softly sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
