break throughs

Finding joy on days where I'm being stretched to my limit is what makes this whole Mama thing work.  In other words, the exhaustion is well worth it.  Yesterday Luka had what I like to call 2 break throughs!!  A break through is anything that gives me positive affirmation that YES, things do get easier.  First off, he took his longest stroll yet and was happy with it the entire time.  And by stroll I mean in his stroller and not attached to his mommy.  Usually, when I set him down in it he protests- but this time... No problems!  Second break through, I TOOK A SHOWER YESTERDAY! woo-hoo.  I get to take about 2-3/ week and they usually require a lot of planning and timing.  But yesterday I just plopped him in his car seat and brought it into the bathroom with me- and he was completely fine for the entire 3 minutes of my speed wash.  These milestones count, too.
