Little encouraging moments

So I'm a little encouraged this morning. I was getting ready to take a shower and my daughter asked where the baby was that was in my tummy. Well, he was getting a diaper changed by daddy, which is awesome in and of itself, but the point here is that she noticed there was no baby! This is the same little person who keeps telling me that her cheeks look like mine when she has "poop candy" in her mouth. I should probably explain her comment here: picture a toddler with a whole Lindt Lindor ball stuck in the side of her cheek. Lovely, I know and I'm sure my parenting skills could be questioned by some who are disgusted by me giving a child that much chocolate while potty training, but it worked and was a great motivator for her. She's a great little eater and if i give her too much chocolate for six months of her life, so be it. Regardless, I choose to interpret the cheek comment to mean that i have adult-size cheeks. I have more work to do to feel healthier and leaner, but I'm encouraged - that's it.
