December 5

We're kind of limping toward Christmas at this point. Although Brady is on an upswing after a bout with bronchitis, both Adam and Isaac are under the weather. But little things make it easier to get through the days, and this kind of enthusiasm is priceless.

Brady was super excited to get the letter bag at school this week. He brought it home on Wednesday and immediately started asking me to help him find G-objects. He was equally thrilled to throw it over his shoulder to take it back to school today so he could share his finds with his friends.

I love the big little things. And I love how little children are excited, inspired, motivated and delighted all at once by the simplest activities. It's a nice reminder that simpler is better.
