Baby Mine



It's naptime.
And this little one just fell asleep
As I sang Baby Mine.
He reached for my hand.
Curled up under his blanket.
And closed his eyes.

I finished singing and just watched him sleep.

Today has been a hard day for this little guy.
He has been more sick than normal.
Very weak and in a lot of pain.
Lots of tears and lots of whimpers.

It was beautiful to watch him rest.
I don't often take those moments
I'm usually rushing off to another load of laundry
Or some other task.
But today I stopped
Just for a bit.
And I'm so happy I did.

"Practically a Lady"

B is five today ...
Five!

As she showed us using all five fingers this morning
I was reminded of Gretl in The Sound of Music.
And Julie Andrews saying "practically a lady."

She is beautiful on the inside and out.
Full of imagination and personality.

Happy Birthday Miss B!
I adore you!! We all do :).
