Perfect day (and it's not even 10!)

I am having such a lovely day. Before preschool Harry reached a new peak of cuteness, shouting to me from his bedroom, "Come here! I missing you!" (It wasn't true, he just wanted me to find his race cars for him, but it was still cute.

Then, waiting for the bus, we played with some blossom petals and then Harry said, kind of wistfully for a 3-year-old: "Petals on the breeze..." I said, "Petals on the breeze? What's that from?" and he said, "Goodnight Harry." David's favourite book. I know children have great memories, but I so so love that Harry's quoting from a book. And in context! (It also reminded me of the lines in Goodnight Harry that always make me laugh. Following the petals on the breeze, it says "They felt the dew of the night." Again, it doesn't work written down, but David always adds "already" and it gets me everytime.

Then I walked back from preschool via the park and it was just beautiful: blossom, bluebells, a Dalmation puppy (you don't see so many Dalmations anymore, do you? Bloody de Ville) and I listened to a Michael Neill podcast, which was just as funny and insightful as ever. Then I got home, settled down at the computer and watched this:

The thing is, the day's only going to get better because this afternoon, me and D are off to York for the night. Finally - finally! - celebrating my deal (and going to see Shaun Smith). Yay!

Oh, that Harry! He's just sooo cute and lovely. I wish everyone could be such good parents. Children reward you so much - and they're just like sponges. I hope the day continues to get better for you. Thanks for blogging about it - it cheered me up so much! Those experiences can't be bought - you really are very rich, you know.
