Default Happiness is...

Happiness is when your 13yo daughter asks to be reminded to bolus for meals.

We were heading out to church last night and I casually asked, "Did you bolus?" Her reply, "Yes, but will you please remind me. I've been forgetting lately."

WOW! Doing the happy dance!!!

Awesome! :-) Happiness, for me, is Jayden saying, "oh, my pod fell off, but I put another one on. No big deal...." No reminder, no me saying anything...she just HANDLED it. Love it!

I would have to act all cool about it til she was out of the room. My ego has taken enough hits from her comments about my dancing.

I have to disagree with Wilf. Congrats on that monumental achievement!
