    a great skill needed in life and learning is the ability to extrapolate. you take the known and try it on the unknown. with one piece of information you have a rule, then as more information comes in you see if your rule stands. so my brilliant daughter went from ‘button’ ti ‘zippon’ (as in, zippon me up please). and in our house, that grammatical rule stands because that glimpse into her mind makes me smile inside and out whenever i hear her say it. skeime (at) gmail

    Hi beautiful!
    A simple thing that makes me smile is when I put my babe down for a nap I do so in my bed and lay with her. She plays with my hair to fall asleep and then I get up and do what I need to get done for the day. When it’s time to wake her up I slide quietly back into the bed and quietly play with her face and whisper her name. Then I pretend to be asleep beside her and watch here slowly wake up. She stretches and makes sweet little noises then once she has come out of her deep sleep she starts to play with my face and says “mommy” in a whisper. This is the best part of life right now.
    So simple and so special.

    Simple thing that makes me smile – the smile on Roman’s face and him pigging out on the berry apple sauce I spent all evening cooking and canning for him.

    And I just realized the above two comments I left don’t link to my right email address. It’s a long story… So when I win let me know at the right address! I can say things like that because I know you right?!

    Thanks for the amazing giveaway opportunity!

    Watching my husband read to our 4yr old son…watching them build in the garage…when my little guy comes running to me when I pick him up from preschool or church….. after 3 and a half years of waiting to hear those words “I love you, mama”. Knowing that God has brought my son so far and He is still carrying him, that’s a huge smile for me
    that and more, is what makes me smile 🙂

    Dinner with neighbors. 🙂

    The last 4 nights we’ve eaten together. Once in their home, once on their deck roasting s’mores, once for pizza at the local pizza joint, and another night at our own home.

    Her 5 yr old daughter and my 5 yr old son/2 yr old daughter are all the best of friends. Life doesn’t get much better than that. 🙂
