It was such a small thing, but it gave me the warm fuzzies on a day when they were badly needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650627 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 09:12:59 +0000 bubblegum 2650627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: Aww isn't it the best!!

I thought it was going to be awful, as she was still boob obsessed. But she has taken it like a champ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650554 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:30:37 +0000 avivoca 2650554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby smiled at me for the first time. </p> [attach=2564/16/ogemz2.450x600.IMG_6552.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650548 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:02:26 +0000 jhd 2650548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: :heart: aahh so sweet! i love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650547 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:01:50 +0000 jhd 2650547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: so cute to hear them talk! oh no is one of my favorites and those cute little "peas"! my LO is 2.5 and has been behind in his speech too. he has been saying thank you, mama and thank you, daddy unprompted a ton lately. so exciting #1 because he's talking and #2 because i desperately want him to have good manners! ;)</p> <p>@oskarsmommy: so sweet! i love to hear their little voices singing. definitely the best way to start the day!!</p> <p>@KT326: aaawww what a sweet boy!</p> <p>@skipra: great news!!!! that's awesome. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650544 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 20:58:18 +0000 jaguar 2650544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These two. &lt;3 </p> [attach=245/16/ogelh6.480x600.14963190_10157725543630483_5161151589744317512_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650543 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 20:57:36 +0000 jhd 2650543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@codeitall: love baby kisses! :) </p> <p>@Silva: that's awesome you were able to get together as a family for lunch. i hope it cheered everyone up. </p> <p>@FaithFertility: so sweet! </p> <p>@IRunForFun: hahaha kids are so funny. and i'm sure you are a beautiful mama to be!</p> <p>@Smurfette: your daughter will love that I"m sure! how nice of your OB!</p> <p>@erinbaderin: that Thomas quote! lol and i love that story of missing baby brother. how sweet!! :heart: </p> <p>@daniellemybelle: i'm glad you had such a positive experience. i was mostly at home today, but hoping to see some of the same where i live! </p> <p>@bubblegum: that's awesome! my mom is able to watch my son two mornings per week and i love he gets that time with her. and congrats on your girl!! exciting news!</p> <p>@youboots: my niece went through a phase of "what's that?" around 15 or 18 months old. she was constantly asking it, but so much fun to see them noticing things and learning. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650539 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 20:48:15 +0000 jhd 2650539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somehow the day got away from me and I didn't even get a chance to come back and read these until now.</p> <p>@LulaBee: good for you for fitting in a work out! i haven't done well with that lately and I WAH. and that's good news about saving some money on daycare!</p> <p>@josina: that was sweet! </p> <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I'm so glad you are feeling better!

The chairs had not been put out yet and she asked my son to help her. He went and got a chair for her and helped her sit down. It was the cutest, sweetest thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650492 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 17:48:36 +0000 oskarsmommy 2650492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband is out of town this week, so naturally I am letting my son sleep in my bed. This morning right as I was waking up, and admittedly a bit bummed, he also woke up, smiling ear to ear. Out of nowhere he took my face in his hands and sang "you are my sunshine" to me. </p> <p>heart melted.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650491 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 17:46:21 +0000 SweetCaroline 2650491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (21 months) hasn't been very verbal, and I've been super worried about her expressive language. Today she said "peas" (please) totally unprompted.</p> <p>Then she accidentally ripped a sticker in half and ran around the house telling "oh no!" Over and over, super clear.</p> <p>The microwave just beeped and she yells "beep! Beep!" :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650478 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:50:29 +0000 youboots 2650478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T now says "what is this" and points. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650476 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:48:07 +0000 bubblegum 2650476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO1 is officially going to be babysat by my MIL. The peace of mind it'll give me is priceless. And LO2 (currently pregnant) is a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650472 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:34:18 +0000 daniellemybelle 2650472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took LO to see a midday movie and everyone at the movie theater seemed to be trying to be extra nice to each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650469 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:28:06 +0000 FaithFertility 2650469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: omg stop.... My daughter called me a hippo when I was pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650465 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:22:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2650465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I went in to get my son up this morning he had no pants on. "B, where are your pants?" "I took them off because I wasn't cold!" (pause) "But now I am cold." He also yelled "Cinders and ashes!" as an exclamation so I think we need to cut back on the Thomas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650464 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:14:49 +0000 Smurfette 2650464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: ha!</p> <p>I was leaving this morning and LO asked where I was going. I said the doctor, baby sister needs a check up. She said but I gave her one yesterday and she was fine. I told my OB and she told me to bring her to my next appointment and she would let her do the wand and measure my belly. Which I think is really sweet and LO will love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650448 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 15:41:50 +0000 IRunForFun 2650448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is more funny than happy, but I am 7 months pregnant and just saw my 3-year-old nephew. He told me my belly was really big, and I said thank you, and asked if he thought it looked good. He told me I look like Gloria and I asked who Gloria was. "The hippo from Madagascar!" he said. Hahaha. Oh man. That'll keep me laughing for a while. </p> [attach=3557/16/oge6tq.165x171.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650438 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 15:11:04 +0000 FaithFertility 2650438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 22 months last night woke to come into our bed, after trying to get her to stay in hers we let her come in.</p> <p>She patted my back and said "Mommy I rub your back!" :heart:<br /> My heart melted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650435 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 15:01:00 +0000 Silva 2650435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought the kids to visit my husband at work during his lunch break to help cheer both of us up. He cried this morning over the news. The happy part is that it was such a lovely visit and restorative in so many ways. I am still so lucky to have an amazing feminist activist husband and two brilliant kids.<br /> The silver lining here has to be me waking up and working harder </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650433 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 14:55:34 +0000 codeitall 2650433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had a rough night, but gave me a spontaneous kiss this morning while cuddling. A wet soy milky kiss, but so adorable :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650411 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 14:31:49 +0000 raspberries 2650411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS (15 months) accidentally knocked a little girl over in his daycare class this morning, and without prompting, he helped her back up, patted her arm, and gave her a kiss on the shoulder. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650408 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 14:23:19 +0000 MrsF 2650408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my friends had a baby boy this morning.

Vomiting, not eating and on prescription pain killers all from my period and all while solo parenting (today is day 9 since DH left with his new job), but today I feel fantastic! Both of my daughters have been sweet and adorable, im finally able to run around and play again and I've been making up for lost meals. I like to eat so that's totally a plus too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-something-happy#post-2650404 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 14:15:46 +0000 josina 2650404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was shopping last Friday after my OB appt. and a woman came up randomly to tell me I looked beautiful, just great, and asked how far along I was and if it was my first, then left saying I looked just glowing.<br /> Very sweet!! Definitely put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. </p>
