The Good: Tonight, rocking Griffin in my arms before bed watching his eyes close as I softly sang "Blackbird." I stopped for a moment when I thought he was asleep, ready to put him into bed, when he opened his eyes to look at me, smiled and said softly, "More singing momma. I want more."
More Good: Tonight, watching Brennan declare he wanted to give a hug to Aidan before bed, right before he jumped on top of Aidan in bed and tickled him. They giggled together for at least five minutes. There is no sound sweeter than that of a child giggling.
The Bad: The incessant smoke alarms going off periodically for an hour because I spilled lasagna in the oven. I had to open every door and window in the house to get them all (like five of them!) to stop screeching in unison. It's winter in Buffalo. I thought we were all going to turn into Popsicles. And my neighbors may think we are a tad insane.
The Ugly: Catching Brennan in the bathroom after he dropped his mini soccer ball in the toilet. He shrugged, grabbed it out of the toilet he HAD JUST PEED IN, and them WIPED IT OFF WITH HIS SHIRT. When I gasped and yelled, "Brennan?!" He looked at me surprised and said, "What?" Because in Brennan's world - that is completely acceptable hygienic behavior.
