good job

Yesterday was a hard day. Doing school is hard enough, but really tricky with a crying newborn and a tantruming 2 year old! I needed to hear, "You are doing a great job," you know? Moms don't get that very often.

But today I thought about the last time I told the boys, "you're doing a great job." I expect a lot from them, and sometimes they just need to hear a "you're doing a great job in school" at the end of the day. I said that today and from the boys' faces, I could tell that they needed to hear that too.
