Five Minutes of Perfect

Sometimes it's the little moments that make you smile.  Like dropping off Henry's paperwork to register him for kindergarten.  We all let out a whoop when we got in the car, and he waved at his new school as we drove off.  The windows were down, the sun streaming in, Cora's curls blowing back from her little face as she grinned.  One of my new favorite songs came on the radio and I turned the volume up as Thomas and Cora pretended to drum along from the back seat.  Henry threw his little arms up in the air, let out a cheer, and shouted, "Best. Day. Ever!!!"

And that, folks, is why I became a mom.
