She Laughed!

I go at lunch to feed Alana whenever Stuart doesn't keep her in Provo for the day. Luckily, she is a fast eater, so for the last few minutes of my lunch break we play! She loves the songs "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam!" and "I am like a star." Today while I was singing to her, I was tickling her tummy and her neck. She was smiling like crazy. And THEN, SHE LAUGHED!! A full-on giggle! I wish I had a video camera, it was adorable! She's laughed in her sleep before, but I felt so lucky to be the first to witness her first intentional giggle! So sweet! I LOVE being a mom, even if I am working. The hardest part was leaving...I was almost late getting back to my class! Yikes!

Other good news: I applied for a half-time ESL position in Orem for next year, and I just found out I got the job! It's just 15 hours a week, so enough to make ends meet, but not too much to be torturous! I feel so blessed!
