awesome nonetheless

sometimes when i have an idea, i consider myself to have had a brilliant idea. i think, "wow! what a fantastic idea, rebecca! you are the best mother ever!". then it occurs to me...it was really just common sense, not brilliance. like the time i moved all ben's books from the top shelf in his room to the bottom shelf. brilliant? no. awesome that ben goes into his room and sits down to read books on his own? yes.
