At various points during parenting Sara and I have both felt the emotional extremes of absolute jubilation and triumph, as well as failure and uncertainty. Just comes with the territory as far as I can tell. Yesterday we got to feel the former. Most days, the majority of our day is spent with happy kids and happy parents. Most days do also have the occasional moment of fit throwing, crying, tantruming, etc (and this is not necessarily only the domain of the kids). Every so often though, you feel like the family threw a perfect game, that everything just came together.
Yesterday was one of those days for the Means' household. We played outside with the kiddy pool and water table, trying to cope with the santa ana heat wave we've been seeing in SoCal lately. Owen napped really well and was a happy boy when he was awake. Everyone ate their food when they were supposed to, baths were fun, and no one freaked out getting their diaper changed. It really is the little things that can make all the difference.
Anyways, below are a few recent photos of the boys being boys.
