Getting older and getting there

Yesterday was my birthday, and though there were definitely some enjoyable moments, it was also offset by some difficult ones with my kids (this is what happens on 3 successive days of lack of sleep). At then end of the evening, it was a perfect day. Hearing their rendition of "Happy Birthday" would melt polar ice caps. But as I think about what I want out of my birthdays, there's not much on my list, except to enjoy little private moments with my family and good friends. It's these experiences that leave sweet memories cherished in my heart. My priorities are different now that I have children, and they are my most treasured accomplishment next to marrying Mr. Fliz, who, happens to have his birthday just 6 days before me. Which means, for those 6 days, I get to enjoy being two years younger than him ;)

And a little update on Micro's potty training. For the past week and a half, he has successfully pooped in the potty each and every time. AHMAZHING! I'm not sure what changed since my post about "potty training woes," but I'm so glad that we've made progress. We're getting there!
