I was reminded of a little thing Stephanie, our oldest child (~2 3/4),
did last night that, I thought some other parents might appreciate and enjoy
some.

Last night was one of those nights where the evening routine was anything
but routine.  During the third time of putting Stephanie into bed,
I gave her yet another smallish amount of milk, but in a large (big person's
type) glass.  The other times had been with her smaller glasses.  Then I was
getting pretty annoyed and almost out of patience, when after a couple
swallows, she offered me the glass, because she felt we were sharing
the "big person's glass".  Those kids sure hit you the hardest when you're in an
increasingly bad mood.  That was a real boost of morale.  I wonder how many
other cute things I have missed being to grumpy to notice them.  Sigh.

Feel free to share any other happy experiences you have had with
your kids.  We all need reminders from time to time about just how special
kids are.
