Thoroughly Modern Millie

Keegan was in his high school's production of the musical, "Thoroughly Modern Millie" March 13-15. It was so wonderful! Mrs. Osborne, the director and Mrs. McCanless, who directed the orchestra did such an incredible job of selecting the musical and assigning the roles. Keegan had a small part and was in the male ensemble and I was so proud of him for working as hard as was required (many days after school, weekends and long nights) and the great job that he did. I went to see it twice! I wanted to share some pictures.
Great Job, Keegan! We are so very, very proud of you!

Yay, Jack!

Jack is nearly finished potty training. He's making it to the potty more often than not and wearing underwear most of the day. What cracks me up is his excitement and enthusiasm for his accomplishment each and every time he uses the potty. He claps for himself and says, "Yay, Jack! That was excellent! Great Job!" He even uses words like "Awesome!" in reference to his use of the potty.

I spend so much time being critical of myself that I usually just think, "Well, that's good enough for now." I am not sure when I quit giving myself a pat on the back for the many things I manage to do in a day, but I'm going to try to give myself some credit once in a while! Yeah, I may not be on that treadmill every single day, but I'm on it a lot more than I was last year! Yeah, I may fall off the diet bandwagon a day or two a week, but I get back on it! Yeah, I may ruin dinner once in a while but I'm cooking for my family way more than I ever have! There are many things I could do better, and I continue to strive for improvement at home and at work, but maybe the accomplishment lies in not giving up. So, for now, "Yay, Kathy. Great Job!"
