1. Piper has acid reflux. She doesn't really have many issues with it anymore because she's taking Zantac twice a day. Today was one of those days that it was obviously bothering her, though. She had just woken from a nap and was laying there, so happy, when all of a sudden she starts choking and gagging. It was the longest one yet. She couldn't catch her breath and it just kept choking her. When it was over she let out a pitiful little cry and was sort of gasping for breath. If I had been alone I would have buried my face in her neck and cried.
2. Tivoli was watching Tangled with us the other day. She was really into it. Half way through the movie she suddenly looks up at Mama and Lindsay and says "We could go home and get my Princess dress and come right back..?" Somehow knowing and being able to follow the train of thought that led her to ask this question made me want to cry and hug her. And she's not even mine. I'm in trouble.
3. I have this routine of saying over and over to Piper, "Mama loves Piper.. and Daddy loves Piper... but most of all Jesus loves Piper." For the first time I thought about exactly what I was saying. I sat and cried like an idiot while she smiled and talked at me. I feel like if she were able to form words she'd have been telling me to get a grip.
Funny how things you do every day.. routine if you will.. suddenly hits you one day! The other night I was laying kaisyn down for bed and we(I) say prayers every night.. well lately she mumbles as I pray.. so I thought if I said it slow a couple of words at the time she could probably repeat it.. she did! And after I kissed her good night and was walking out the room.. it hit me that my BABY had just prayed for the first time.. talk about an emotional wreck(but in a good way) ... Whit
ReplyDeleteOh my word, that's cute. We lay Piper down in her bed and then stand over her and pray. We both end up holding one of her hands or rubbing her face while we're praying and the whole time, she's smiling and talking to us. It's hard to concentrate.
