Today I'm celebrating five little things that make me happy:
1. Eliza slept until 7:00am this morning! Since going down to one nap, she seems to be sleeping in later on a semi-regular basis. This is cause for major celebration around these parts - she has historically been a 5-5:30am waker. Now excuse me while I go knock on some wood...
2. A fun coffee "play date" this morning that Eliza and I had with a good friend from school. We got lattes and played in the kids' section of a bookstore and chatted. She doesn't have a baby, so she helped me wrangle mine! It was fun to catch up with her and watch Eliza play.
3. Afternoon nap time today: me, my two kitties, a (mildly) sicky husband (who came home unexpectedly from work today) and my laptop (of course!), allllll curled up in bed for a couple of hours while Eliza naps.
4. My new boots! My dad totally surprised me by offering to buy me some much-needed winter boots. We get a lot of snow around here (especially this winter - holy hannah!), and I need some heavy-duty boots that will be up to the challenge. I got these. Heavy duty, but with style! Those people at Sorel sure know their winter boots...
5. My favorite new Aveda product. This stuff smells sooooo good. I love using it to massage Eliza's legs or arms after bath, and I use it along with my favorite hand cream (which is unscented) to relieve the really dry hands I seem to get every winter. You can also use it for scalp massage or whenever you need a relaxing scent. I love it.
Happy Monday everyone! What little things made you happy today?
**updated to add a 6th little thing: I passed my critical exam (which is actually a paper, not an exam) today, one of two preliminary exams required on the road to my Ph.D. That's a not-so-little thing to be happy about today, too!

Those boots are totally cute! I bought myself some new ones for this winter (thank goodness!)
What made me happy today - being able to take 2 naps while Eddie took (still taking) his 2, but still getting up with enough time to have a snack and play on the computer while he slept :-) Oh - and my baby is 10 months today!!!
Cute post! Addy is a 5:45am waker too. Nice to know I have some hope later on!!
Not to mention passing another milestone in your program! What a day.
Congratulations on the 7am wake up! Hope it lasts for you!! =) And congrats on your program, too!
Hm, what made me happy today: no school and I got a bonus day to sleep in (why is it always about sleep?!) and lots of cuddle time with the little ones. What could be better? =)
Way to go on your test! Those boots are SO cute! I hope the early wake up continue to be a thing of the past:)
:D Good day!
Those boots are awesome! I was telling Mike the other day I needed to get a pair of boots. and I might have to try that hand cream, because this winter is not doing well for my skin.
Since it's not Monday anymore, I will tell you what I am Happy for this week. I am happy that I took Gabby to the doctor. She is sleeping much better tonight than in past nights :)
