Obama Cookies

Today Obama cookies made me smile. They made me smile because inauguration day is exciting and full of anticipation and because I love cookies!

Kids

Today I smiled when one of my students said to another one, "I won't ever call you chubby, I will be your friend. I think you're pretty." It was such a nice moment of kids relating to each other.
The kindness of children made me smile today.

Date with Dad

Today I had a date with my daddy. When I was a kid I always knew I could ask for a book and the answer would be yes. I might not always get the newest toy I wanted but I knew that dad would never say no to a book. He promised to continue this tradition even though my sister and I are grown now.
He and I have been trying to get together for months for our book store trip and we finally went today. As usual, daddy said I could pick out any book I wanted (I picked Breaking Dawn #4 in the Twilight series) While we were there I heard a little girl asking her dad for a new book and him saying "of course" just like my dad used to when we were kids. It was so nice to spend time with just dad, we don't always have time to catch up and spend time together like we did when we were kids. I hope that once we have children that my father will continue this tradition with them, in addition to my DH (he has been practicing with his nephews!).

Happy Reading!
