Sing a New Song

This morning my kids were singing. This doesn't really seem on the outside like a newsworthy event - except that it has been ages since I heard my daughter sing recklessly in the shower - or my son singing while he got dressed. When you have lived with someone who constantly complains about the noise level, not only do the extraneous sounds cease, but the joyful noises of happiness bubbling over stops too. I have moments where I still question if I did the right thing, but this morning, seeing the kids back to their "old" noisy selves confirms that the choice was right!
