What I like Wednesday

I saw this on a friend's blog and decided to challenge myself to it!

I like this cute wooden rocking horse with a corduroy seat. I can't believe Lucas is proudly kneeling next to it as a big brother! Just yesterday, he was reaching out his little hands with great intent to touch the horse's hair (it was the first thing he grabbed.)

I like that Lucas has not yet acted jealous of Sofia and that he's always happy to see her.

I like that no matter how much Sofia spits up or how much difficulty she has in processing the broccoli I ate (oops!) she always has a smile for me.

I like that I can't find a window in my house that doesn't picture a dogwood tree. And I especially like the wild dogwoods in the forest in my backyard.

I like using hazelbrand soaps on my babies and myself :)

I like that Lucas's basement playroom which is the bane of my existence and a total wreck right now, just got a huge smile and a "Woah!" from his friend Alexander.

I like that Lucas reacts to a dinner of smoked salmon on toast with sliced, salted cucumbers on the side with a "ya!" (fist in the air.)

I like that Lucas is almost always willing to give me a big hug, kiss and grin. Even after a meltdown and a time out.

I like that my washing machine and dryer are downstairs and not down the street.

I like our mega den!

I like that whole foods now gives pseudo-healthy snacks to kids to occupy them while you shop. Lucas loves the chocolate coconut milk.

I like watching Lucas build coordination and strength (and have lots of fun!) in his gymnastics class.

I like that I will probably get some sleep tonight! Looking forward to that. :)
