Easy evening after a long day

After such an exhausting day, I am just glad to be able to sit down and put my feet up. Rest is in store, for sure, and gratitude too for the little accomplishments we managed today.

1. “I want to make wee-wee” (although what he really meant was poo, which he did, sorry for the TMI) — Matthew’s first voluntary effort to go potty. (We bought him his potty last week, and while I need to get my program better planned, it’s nice to know that we’ve already had some progress.)

2. Cooked dinner from whatever was left in the fridge and pantry, and resisted going out. Like I commented on Toni’s blog about wanting to cook better, I like things easy and I hate complicated steps in cooking. Obviously, I’m not the cook in the family.

3. On time naptime and bedtime. Tonight was particularly nice, Matthew just snuggled while I read a book (not to him!) and he settled down easily.

It’s nice to end the day and week on a good note. And to put things in better perspective and keep my spirits up, I have this wacky pic on my desktop to chuckle about every time I see it.
