The weather was horrible today. It was so rainy, windy and cold. However, it was a good day because you were good. I was actually listening to the radio on the drive to your dance class and Roz from Roz & Mocha (KiSS 92.5FM) was talking about a video he had seen that made him cry. I was curious to know what this video was so while I waited for your class to be over, I checked it out. Basically it was a video that taped a few moms and what they thought of themselves as moms. All of them were pretty negative about themselves (which is understandable because that's how I feel 99% of the time). And then the video goes on to show the children of these moms and what they thought of their moms. Take a look and it will make you cry. As quoted from the website the Stir, Making our children happy can be so simple. They don't care about parenting philosophies or long-range plans.
For kids, a trip to the ice cream shop, snuggling, or being tucked in each night are the things that make them happy. It's easy to beat ourselves up about all the things we don't do perfectly or the little mishaps that happen every day. But while we are doing that, we lose sight of all the things we are doing right. Like our little ones, we should focus on those seemingly simple moments that make them feel so special.

I didn't expect to see another hip hop performance so soon (as the teachers let us in last week), but it was a pleasant surprise. All of you guys were so cute.
