Three Beautiful Things for Today

1. First, an incredible and complete rainbow. At sunset it stretches across the entire eastern horizon, brilliant and glowing.Then, a long soaking rain. The new plants in the yard will love that.

2. K is taking swimming lessons for the first time and she's been pretty tentative. Today after her lesson is over, we sit in the stands and watch all the other lessons taking place. She has lots of questions about what she sees and seems to gain a small understanding of what swimming is supposed to look like.

3. T seems to be feeling a little left out as the last couple days as he's been home with Daddy when I've taken K to her lesson. (Not that he hasn't enjoyed the one-on-one with his hero!) Tonight as I get him ready for bed he is telling me something that he seems to consider important, and though I don't understand all his words, I look him full in the face and answer him instead of absently murmuring, "Mhmm". He gets that little satisfied smile that says, now I know my mama hears me and loves me.
