Small Miracles

This morning I was having a not very good mommy morning.  Things had been going wrong all morning and I was not at my most patient but I decided to do our Friday cooking project anyway.  Liberty was up in her crib crying to get up, but I figured we could hurry and get the fudge made before I went to get her.  After we poured the fudge into its pan I realized I had forgotten the vanilla and so I had to dump the fudge back into the bowl and re-beat it quickly before it hardened.  The beaters chose that exact moment to break and with a loud grinding noise came to a stop.  I was stressed out and frustrated.  As I looked up from my floundering fudge, there was Reagan holding Liberty all dressed (in matching clothes!) with a diaper change and everything.  (He just learned how to change diapers last week at his request).  I almost cried I was so thrilled at this wonderful helpful surprise.  And how awesome is that?!  He can change diapers and dress babies!  Woohoo!  Sometimes my 9 year old really surprises me with his thoughtfulness.  And he was flying sky high the rest of the day knowing that he’d made mom so happy.
