Even if he&#8217;s getting closer to a two year old than a baby, he&#8217;s still my baby, and he&#8217;s still a snuggler.  He likes to grab hold of a chunk of my hair (which is hard to do with this length hair) when he sits in my lap.  Even when he wakes up at 3:00 in the morning and then I have a hard time going back to sleep, I still enjoy holding him.<\/li>\n<li>Listening to my kids practice the piano.  Yes, sometimes it gets old, hearing them plink away at the same songs, but sometimes I just listen and think, &#8220;Wow, they are getting so much better!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Going to Book Club.  There&#8217;s always yummy food and it&#8217;s pretty much like being invited to a party every month<\/li>\n<li>Hearing from friends.  With e-mail, cell phones, and all the things we have today, it makes it easier to stay in touch with friends.  Of course we still have to make the effort, but it&#8217;s sure easier than writing a letter, finding an address, finding a stamp, and remembering to put the letter in the mailbox.  In fact, I&#8217;ve got a letter to send to my mom that&#8217;s been sitting on my counter for a couple of days now.<\/li>\n<li>Winning things!  Winning anything makes me happy, but especially when it&#8217;s something I really really want or could use.  Last Friday I won a Lagoon Seasonpass&#8211;how cool is that!?  I won a set of cookware about a month ago, and I just won some ticket to the Lovin Spoonful (which is one of those things that I don&#8217;t really know what the contest is, I just start dialing when I hear them say &#8220;contest&#8221;, but it&#8217;s still fun to win.<\/li>\n<li>Hearing John say &#8220;Thanks, Mom.&#8221;  It just gets me every time, and I&#8217;ll give him just about anything he wants.  He&#8217;s learning early that the way to get ahead in life is to be polite.  Now if only my other kids could learn that lesson.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some things I like: Sleeping in (it doesn&#8217;t happen very often, but I still like it) Kashi granola type cereal&#8211;Melinda introduced me to this great cereal full of protein and fiber.
