Stretch

My new love is watching a baby stretch. 

Sleeping baby

There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby on me. It is hard to get up. I won't get to do this forever. She is my snuggle girl. 

Can you tell I love it?!?

8pm

Going to bed at 8pm. That is what kind of day I had. Praying tomorrow will be better than today. 

Thinking about my cuties in their Halloween outfits as I fall asleep. My Snow White and my lion.

Big boy

We are visiting my parents and I worry about potty training with my boy. I don't have to worry anymore. I couldn't get up because I was nursing my daughter. My son told me he needed to go potty. However, his potty seat was downstairs. I coached him and he confidently went downstairs, brought his seat back up, went potty, flushed, and washed his hands. The only thing we haven't mastered yet? Wiping. Ha! Afterwards,  he closed my door "so we could go to sleep." He got back into bed by himself and is falling asleep now. 

(My parents weren't home at the time)

Thank you, Daniel Tiger. "Flush and wash and be on your way." 

And, thank you, Jesus, for my independent and responsible boy. 

Phone Call

I got a phone call from Jamaica! It was my awesome hubby on his mission trip. It was so nice to hear his voice and to hear he was having a wonderful time. I am so happy he is serving the Lord with the talents he is given through the medical field. He said he can't wait to go back with me. He has only been there one day. I can't wait to hear more about it! I miss my big bear. :)

Finally sleeping

After 4 hours of sleep a night for a week, I slept from 8:50-5:50. My sweet girl was tired from a fun day of traveling. :-) 

However, with that much sleep comes a nursing dilemma. I was digging around to find a clean tshirt and grabbed my hubby's. I was relieved to find it because I miss him and it smells like him. It is comforting to wear it because I won't be able to talk to him until next Saturday. 

Dog

4am. I am nursing my child. I hear something on our back deck. I thought someone was trying to steal something or break in our home. It ended up being a puppy with a long chain around its neck. I guess he is a rebel on a "night adventure." Why do animals think our back deck is their new home? Ug. Please stop barking and whining on my deck. And, quit protecting my stairs like a Roman guard. This is not your home. :-)
