A Spring of Joy

Brian has a squishy ball to squeeze when he’s stressed that he got on a business trip to San Francisco. This morning I was fixing breakfast and Micah had just gotten up. He raised his arms, yawned and did a full body stretch. All of a sudden he says, “Mommy, I’m all stretched out. I need daddy’s smiley face ball to squeeze.” I asked him, “Do you mean you’re all stressed out?” He stretched again and said, “Uh huh, I’m all stretched out.” Oh how he makes me laugh!
