First, a woman at Costco stood by Norah and talked to her while I had to take Annie to the bathroom. This actually happens a lot. Norah is typically left in the cart as close to the bathroom as I can get, then I frantically rush back and forth helping Annie and making sure Norah is ok as well. What a nice thing to do.
Next, a woman at the park kept pushing Norah in the swing while I was giving Annie an underdog. Seriously, what a small gesture, but it means a lot.
Finally, Samantha pushed the kids on the swings while I took care of our dog, and then carried Annie when she was too tired to walk. I told her, but I hope she can understand how much that helps me.
And just so I remember-----
On our way to the park, the kids were watching Tangled for the umpteenth time. We were on the part where Rapunzel and Flynn sing "I see the Light." From the backseat I hear some interesting sounds...it is Landon, armpit farting in perfect sychronization to the song. I laughed.
As he is the only boy in a family with four girls, stuff like that is welcome anytime. :)
