Today feels so much better. The last few weeks have been hard, hard. Mike has been working like crazy so not around a lot. Peter has been a mess, difficult. My heart has been angry (and I hate that as much as any of the circumstances around me).
But Peter has had some good love from his grandparents lately. Thank you Lord for them- they are such sweet intercessors to love our children when I just feel so unable. My mom graciously took Peter for the weekend, despite that it was the weekend before her son's wedding. Peter had a sweet eve at "Goo's House" last night. Today he has been a sweet, fun, happy boy!! I feel like my sweet little man has come back a little.
Lily has been on antibiotics since the weekend for a skin infection (so sad and hard on a momma's heart).... This morning Peter found the syringe that I'd used to give Lily her medicine. He'd walk over to her, put the tip in her mouth and say,
"Here, Lily. Its tastes good, Lily. OK?"
He'd walk over to the corner of her room and pretend to refill it. Then walk back to her and sweetly say the same thing to her. Over and over. It made my heart smile.
We've had a "tradition" what whenever the buttons on the exersaucer are hit enough times to make a song play, we have to dance to the song. So this morning Peter made the songs play 100 times and told me to dance with him each time. It was so sweet. He shakes his head back and forth each time. The dancing did both of us good!
Today has been more like my sweet boy, not this face that I've seen too, too much in the last few weeks...
Sweet Lily is learning to crawl. She just goes backwards so far but is more and more able to support her weight on all 4's each day.
