Day 1 - Wednesday, August 5th

What made me smile today?

  • Picking up Baby from nursery and seeing the joy in his face as he walked to me with his huge smile and arms open (will I say this every Mon/Tues/Wed? At the risk of appearing very repetitive I just might, but it really does make my heart swell every time)
  • Baby placing the cans so gently into the bowl - it made me realise he doesn't always throw them around!
  • Baby spending a good few minutes repeatedly bouncing up to stand on his tippy toes and back down again - I'm sure he's getting ready to jump, I think his first jump might be soon!

    What triggered me today?

    Baby repeatedly closing the sink stopper with his foot while I was cleaning him up after dinner... it doesn't always get to me but today it did, possibly because I was tired and still had a pile of things to do. But thankfully I saw it and didn't let it get to me! So it didn't escalate, I just took a very brief moment and then managed to finish cleaning him without feeling like I was losing it - yay!

    What would I have done differently today?

    I would not have raised my voice when Baby decided to roll before I had finished cleaning up his poopy bottom.

    What will I try to do tomorrow?

    I don't have anything specific in mind for tomorrow... but I'll try to remember to keep an eye on those triggers (as I should do every day).

    What am I grateful for?

    Oh so many things, but today I am thankful Baby was able to (finally, after much trouble) fall asleep on the tube ride home from work today.
