good night

Tonight has been a good night.

While I don't mind Brian being gone for work I'll be honest in saying that while he is gone, we either have good nights or bad nights - there is usually no in between. Either that or I have a behaving badly child #1 and behaving like a saint child #2 or visa versa.

But tonight...tonight was a good night. I never had to raise my voice, never had to ask more than once (even with the baby boy!!). We even had PTO tonight so Nate had to stick with me - with nothing to do but be close (which he loves) - in a room full of people (which he hates). He used his words and communicated quickly that he was getting overwhelmed, so to the back of the room we went, were I could hear and he could get some air - and all went well. We came home and had a quick drink (just milk for the boys!!) and it was time to chat and hit the hay. Again, no complaining, no back talk, just open ears and happiness all around. It even made my night when I was closing the door with my final "Love you guys!" and Nick says back "Love you to Mom!"

Yup, tonight was a good night.
