One of Those Days

You know those days where you just want to run outside and scream at the top of your lungs and then run 500 miles and then go shopping and spend this paycheck and the next, and then eat something ooey-gooey and chocolatey just to make things feel better?

Well, yesterday was NOT one of those days. On the contrary, it was a next-to-perfect day. Winston was just a perfect little angel all day long.

He napped well, he snuggled lots (but not too much), he played on the floor by himself while I did some easy house cleaning and dinner prep. He smiled and giggled lots and scooted for toys and for me. In addition to all of that, I was able to read and study the scriptures for longer than usual, read for leisure, and even catch up with some tasks for work. I rarely get so much done in one day while home with him.

And to top off the night, Winston giggled and laughed and giggled some more after being put in his PJs and playing on the bed with his blanket. After about 5-10 minutes of laughing, he suddenly stopped, sat up, crawled up to my face and gave me a few big [slobbery] goodnight kisses. What a sweetie.

Here's hoping today doesn't go the opposite way.

And here's a cute little video of him kissing me yesterday.
Wanna know something strange? He'll kiss me, my mom, his aunts, even some uncles and cousins, but he WILL NOT kiss his Daddy. No matter how hard we try. Even when he's freshly shaven. It's a mystery.

What a sweet video! I love Baby kisses! Sounds like you had a blissful day. I think those come from Heavenly Father, letting you have a little taste of Heaven.

Babies are definitely a God send. My nieces and nephew are like that for me anyway. They have a way with just taking the worst day and making it better. I wish I had that effect on people!
