Happy List

If you have little ones, know someone with children, or were once a kid yourself.. you should read out loud to little ears. It makes you happy. It really does. Here’s my current happy list (many books included)

• socks that match
• dark chocolate cake
• root beer
• extra hugs
• question quotas
• Diego’s missing baby jaguar
• "have a good day" morning goodbyes
• complicated secret handshakes
• Star Wars gun equipped highchairs
• 3 am baby smiles
• a pigeon who finds a hot dog
• a 3-year-old who says "I’m the man"
• hands on head silly dances
• reading Corduroy by memory
• coffee
• more coffee
• third mug of coffee
• mac and cheese (sang to the tune of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony)
