1. sitting with my toddler on the couch with Sesame Street playing on the TV while sniffing her head (the 'smellin head' thing again, sorry, it just smells so good :) can be very calming - if she isn't too wiggily! and will stay there!

2. that if I do 3 loads of laundry in a day, that it might be a steady maintaining pace. This, however, may have to be tested/thought-out more thoroughly.

3. that if I use chocolate milk as my sweet treat after dinner, it won't be as bad on the waistline.

4. that I'm so proud of my 1st grader for doing exceptional in school. Way to go, my girl!
