Most grateful moment of the day: I was really dragging today after being up late last night. Tommy let me take a nap when Jack went down. So I was laying in our bed, listening to him talk to his mom on the phone downstairs, under the covers. I was so cozy and loved hearing his voice from upstairs. It was so comforting and I was out in no time!!!

One thing I learned today: That I need to be more educated about nutrition. I don't know how to read nutrition labels on boxes/ food. I don't know what food gives you which vitamins, nutrients, etc. I don't know how to interpret that information. I am bad about guessing how many calories servings have. It's something I really need to focus on!

Best life tip of the day: Do not put your husband's damp work shirts in a plastic bag for several weeks while you wait to take them to the dry cleaner. They will get moldy and your husband will be mad at you and you'll have to spend a lot of money to buy him new ones.

One moment I wish I could redo: I wish I would have gone to the grocery store earlier today because by the time I finally got around to it, a huge storm was blowing in and I soaked getting everything into my car.

Biggest laugh of the day: Jack's big thing is pretending to go 'night night'. He thinks it is hilarious when he gets under his covers and pretends he's snoring, and when he throws the covers off, I try to get my face right close and scare him. The way he laughs at this- there is no way you can't laugh yourself. It is really cute anf funny!

Best Tommy moment of the day: We took Jack to Squeaky Sneakers (open gym for toddlers) today. Tommy had never seen Jack play there, so he followed him around and played with him. The best moment was at the end, when they bring a huge parachute out. Everyone grabs hold of an edge and they walk around in a circle singing 'Wheels on the Bus'. Tommy jumped right in with all the moms and kids while I was with the baby. He was singing and Jack thought it was so cool to have his dad there.

Best Jack moment of the day: Jack was running around in circles in the living room tonight. The baby was in her bouncy seat, sleeping soundly. He wasn't looking where his was going and tripped and fell on the bouncy seat, almost right into her lap. The two of them bounced down, and then back up. He bounced right back into running position, she got a little air, and then bounced right back into her sleeping position (didn't even open her eyes). It was amazing that no one got hurt or woke up!

Best Mallie moment: At Squeaky Sneakers, Mallie sat in her stroller while I pushed her around the gym following Jack. She was just sucking on her pacifier and staring at me. Everytime I looked down at her, I would be startled by her big blue eyes just looking right up at me!
