195. Comfortable, stylish shoes.
196. Opportunities that continue to help me work towards responding rather than reacting.
197. Arriving to Emmy's school in the 4 o'clock hour to pick her up (minutes before 5, but still within 4 o'clock).
198. One hour of uninterrupted, one-on-one time with Emmy after school today making Play-Doh cakes, cupcakes, cookies, Christmas tree, ornaments, turtles, stars, and a snowman with green eyes, buttons, smile, top hat, and toothpick arms.
199. Daydreaming about one-on-one time with Lily.
200. Emmy running from the dining room table during dinner to the bathroom all by herself yelling, "I need some privacy!" as she closed the door. I heard a flush and went to investigate. Upon entering, I saw Emmy standing in the bathroom with just her shirt on. She asked, "Mom, do you want to see? I can get on all by myself!" She bunched up her shirt in one fist tucked under her chin and scooted herself right onto the potty. I believe her will for independence has grown just as much as her legs in the past couple of months.
201. The strip show continuing with Emmy walking around the kitchen totally naked eating an apple slice before heading off to bath.
202. After my run with Molly while Andy did bath time with the girls, Lily greeting me at the front door with phone in hand, dressed in her robe and pajamas. She said, "Mom! I was just going to text you - M-O-M, I miss you!"
