yes

it's so fun to be able to say, "yes!" as a mom, right?? we have to say "no" so often.

last friday, i said "yes" when they asked to go to the "fun" pool at the gym. and i said, "yes" when levi asked to go down the slide (he had never been before...but he's swimming SO much better that i knew he'd be fine!)

i like myself as a mom so much better in the summer. and i need to evaluate that and figure out why that is and how to make it be a year-round thing. i think part of it has to do with less schedules and more sleep. hmmm.... {i'm NOT homeschooling all my kids! believe me, i've thought about it. but i do NOT think that's the answer...}
