small victories

hi! i am so thankful to be able to write about some small victories we have experienced this week in our family!  
1. for at least a week max and cole have been going to bed at the same time at night, giving chris and i a couple of hours to ourselves. hooray!
2.  cole is really growing in his abilities to clean up his toys and entertain himself.  i no longer dread nursing max while cole is awake and my default is not the tv. 
3.  max smiled in the bath for the first time this week.  maybe it helped that i put both boys in the tub together?  that explains why there is no picture to prove it!  my hands were definitely full.  they both seemed to love it, and this is a welcomed change from max's bloody murder screams that we'd been enduring since he was born!
4.  my butternut squash and cantaloupe seeds have sprouted and are growing stronger in my kitchen window.   so strong, in fact, that i need to replant in larger containers.  
5.  i made my first successful lemon meringue pie.  yum!
i hope you can celebrate some small victories this week, too!
