Biggest laugh of the day: On our way to meet Tommy for lunch, Jak sang "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" to the tune of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" the entire way at the top of his lungs. It was the biggest laugh of the day....and also the most annoying moment of the day (after about 15 minutes of it).
One thing I learned today: I learned that Lynn Cheney is kind of a bad ass. She confronted Diane Rehm on her radio show today and kind of made her look like an idiot (in my opinion). Rehm was trying to make her seem like a complete 'B' by getting her to say that federal funds should not be directed to public radio. She made some good points about how biased public broadcasting is and called Diane Rehm out for being part of that biased reporting. It was refreshing to hear- even though I ADORE public radio!!!!
Best life tip of the day: Don't compare your child to other people's kids. There will always be someone doing something your child is not doing....and always someone your child is showing up. It's not fair to your child, the children you are comparing your child to, or yourself.
One moment I wish I could redo: I wish I had napped when the kids were napping today because I was tired all day and by about 8:00 tonight, I was very short tempered with everyone.
Best Tommy moment of the day: Tommy and I had a discussion about how marriages break up tonight. It was reassuring to hear his views on the subject. I knew that we were on the same page before the discussion, but sometimes it's just nice to hear how committed he is to our family. I can't imagine what it would take to change the way I feel about keeping this family together. It's naive to think that all marriages will stay strong forever. But when children are involved, I would hope that it would take something pretty drastic to weaken things enough to contemplate divorce, let alone going through with one.
Best Jack moment of the day: As we were walking to meet Tommy for lunch, Jack had his 'big guy' strut going in full effect. He was talking to me (saying something I did not understand), but also looking up at each person we passed and giving them a quick wave of his hand and saying 'hi!'. People were laughing out loud at him and he just thought he was being a friendly citizen.
Best Mallie moment of the day: I fed Mallie her bottle this evening and realized how calm and content she is when she's eating now. It is such a huge change from about a month ago when she was struggling and screaming through her bottles. Now it's finally a moment I look forward to during the day!
