We had had a babysitter-which we wish we did more often,
but, in reality almost never do.
The babysitter had told us he'd been kinda cranky, so I was expecting it a bit.
Anyway, turns out......he was all out of sorts for quite a while,
& I finally went in & picked hime up to feed him a bottle.
I rocked & fed him.......& wonder of wonders......

He fell asleep on my shoulder.
I sat there in the dark for a while & enjoyed that soft breathing coming from my baby.......& THANKED GOD.......He knew just what I needed.
I needed to SLOW down & enjoy my kids-

I guess with three-you kinda HAVE to slow down or you'll go insane!

I think it's so neat how the Lord gives us gentle reminders--many times from our kids on what's really important. I think even in the diversity of personalities of our kids he uses that to accomplish His purpose in removing the "rough edges" that we have.
BTW....tell your sisters hello from me. :-)
I so agree, Lois! & I will tell them hi!
That was a special moment Kim!
We can just get so busy can't we and focussed on our 'to do' list we often forget to stop and actually enjoy our kids.
Thanks for that reminder!
Take care,
Anna
