Here are a few of mine:
-a half eaten hot dog. That mean's the other half is in her tummy
-a well formed poop. Even more exciting, a well formed poop in the potty!
-a decent outfit when DH gets to dress Katherine. It's rare but it's a reason to celebrate when it happens!
-a load of laundry in which all of the kids socks emerge in pairs

share yours

When she eats good
When she says a new word
When she climbs up in my lap and says "hewo" and gives me a big kiss

okay now I'm getting into the stuff that makes me cry so I will stop

Kaitlin'smom replied: trying new foods more than once
using the potty
understanding our 'talks'
doing whats asked of her
they way she snuggles with me
learing new words or things

I could go on and on.....

I love being her mommy

TANNER'S MOM replied: When they go to sleep with one kiss.

I love whole unbroken crayons now.

I am glad she doesn't like the padded bra's

I was sooo proud that Justin learned 6x6 is 36.. Lord for some reason that took forever.

I am glad that made zippered shoes... for when I am in a hurry.

I love ceral..and pop tart..ssshhhh don't tell anyone I feed that junk to my kids.

JAYMESMOM replied: I love when:

Daddy gets the poopy diapers,

When she learns new words

When she wakes up at night and just wants to cuddle

When she comes up and gives me a big kiss, full of drool

When she eats spagetti and ends up looking like a clown

When they finally learn to read and are so proud that they did it on their own

When they say I love you and mean what they are saying.

DansMom replied: Funny things, besides the one already stated, that we get excited about:

When he initiates play with or shows affection for another child---parents of only children always get excited when they see social skills

When he remembers something from long ago that we've forgotten---that always amazes me.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
yep that one always gets us

moped replied: When a nap is longer than an hour

when I can tidy my house and feel good about it during a nap

when everyone is smiling when I get home

when he said "MOM" for the first time this weekend - I CRIED!

When I can shower and do my hair in the same hour

The list goes on and on!!!!

ediep replied: 1. when I can take a shower and get ready in the morning
2. some time at the gym
3. dinner that doesn't end up on the floor
4. going to sleep at night and not waking up until the morning (daylight)

MyBlueEyedBabies replied:
Until Matt was 6 months I was excited if I could do both in the same day

kimberley replied: haha funny!

when there is a nap!

when poopies don't blast up her back

when she finally points to what she wants after she has been whining in front of the fridge for an hour

when she lets me use the washroom alone

when she says a new word

when she gives me those great big hugs and kisses

My2Beauties replied: When she can poop without grunting and crying (has been doing good for some time now)

When I come home and she is actually clean instead of filthy dirty from being at the sitter's all day

When she points at a famlily picture and points to Brian and says dada, points to me and says mama, points to Desiree and says thitthy (sissy) , and then points to her and says Nana (hanna)

When she farts and laughs about it (she learned that from me which is why I think it's so funny, yes I still chuckle when someone farts )

When most of her dinner ends up in her mouth and not all over the highchair, the floor, her face, in her hair etc...

MommyToAshley replied: 1. At least one poopy a day
2. Being able to take a shower without interruption
3. A bouquet of freshly picked dandelions
4. Being smothered with peanut butter and jelly kisses
5. The muddy hand prints on my white shirt left from the great big monster hug that about knocked me down.
6. Not knowing what the next day will bring and what silly thing my toddler will do next.
