You and I and your dad were just up all night-- again. Your two front teeth just won't come through! You have got the cutest fangs but these two front teeth are stubborn- just like you and just like your mama.
Right now I am wearing you in the MDD (million dollar device is what we've always called it but I guess baby carrier is what others call it). You are finally snoring and I am afraid to take you off but can't lay down with you on me. Ironically, I am going to miss a women's bible study today about honoring parents. What God has to say about honoring parents is this---- you have to do it.
I love you and just wanted to share that even though I feel bad about you being in pain-- it is really hard to work all day and then be up all night and then be up all day again. Especially with the sound of a screaming baby that you love as the thing keeping you up. But there is ALWAYS a bright moment in this kind of storm. Tonight's bright moment was that the sun started to come up and then the sky turned bright pink. I took you outside with your sweaty feverish self. We sat down on the bench that I just bought at a garage sale (wooden, old license plates attached, it goes by the name McAllister), and you were quiet for a minute. You raised your little chubby finger that is learning how to point and pointed to the pink sky and you smiled at that sky and then you smiled at me. Oh, how God can take a moment and remind you where your place is. This "trial" we went through last night was such a mellow one compared to the hurts of this world.
I love you-- and I'll stay up all night with you- anytime you need me.
