Hallelujah!

Luke is on Day #6 in underwear.
If any of you know Luke, or at least have some inkling of his "spirited" personality from reading this blog, than you know how HUGE this is.

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd say goodbye to diapers (well, almost goodbye. Still working on getting through the night, but that's okay).

I'm so happy I could cry.

But instead, I'll tell you about something else that made me really happy this week (and really did make me cry, several times): The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
So clever and differently written from anything I've read lately. While the first chapter is a tad bit morbid, the story hooks you until you can't put it down. A beautiful story about the power of friendship and the human spirit.

why didn't you tell me about this book BEFORE my trip to the library?

sorry! I hadn't finished it until yesterday and wanted to see how it ended first (I know, I know, trips to the library are rare!).

Congrats on the potty training! That is huge!
