I heart coffee and my kids

Zada and Darby are in a dead heat to be my favorite kid today. Zada jumped up two levels in her ice skating classes and was asked to participate in an enrichment reading group at school.
Not to be easily counted out, Darby was called "a joy to work with" by his school district speech therapist (with whom we met for a half-year review) and he asked for an extra hug and kiss goodbye from me at his preschool.
For all of the lousy anxious days I've had on both kids' accounts, today is a real treat. So I'm at Caribou celebrating with a small, half-caff, mint skim latte. Cheers!
