Last night was a bit rough for us. Avind was up it seemed every hour. I finally went in to check on him at 3am and
he was furious. He did not want me to
hold him and he did not want to go back in his crib. I had to pin him down to change his diaper to
make sure that wasn’t what was making him upset. I left him crying and tried to go back to
bed, but I was up thinking about life for another hour or so. Then I heard Blake getting up and realized
Collin was crying. When Blake came back
he said Collin had just been awake and couldn’t sleep and wanted me. Who would’ve thought. He never wants me. I guess I am his middle of
the night comfort. That is good. I am glad to be needed by him. Anyway, my head is pounding by now so tonight
it is early to bed! Well, earlier. Hopefully by 10 anyway.
Avind is officially 11 months old today. I love seeing his skinny little naked body
maneuver around. He has no fat- just my
skinny little baby. I can’t believe he
will be a year old so soon. He loves to
climb into his old car seat and rock back and forth in it.
Collin said the sweetest thing to me this morning. We were walking into the YMCA and I saw the
Daffodils and said, “I just love those daffodils! I think they are one of my favorite
flowers!” Collin responded, “Do you
know what my favorite flower is?” I
said, “Which one?” And he said, “You
Mommy!” Oh, my darling boy. Made me feel like the prettiest thing on this
earth!
I was feeling quite down and out of sorts yesterday morning
so after Collin was at school and Avind was in bed, I said a prayer to ask for
help. I then decided to do something for
myself. So I made up a nice bubble bath
and read, ”The Secret Garden.” I lOVE that
book. It has been a long time since I
have read it, but it was just what I needed.
And the rest of the day I felt very content and happy. I would love my own secret garden. That is where I go in mind when I am trying
to relax and go to sleep. Hmmmmmmmmm. It makes me happy.
We invited the missionaries over for dinner tonight. It was nice to have them. I like giving Collin a chance to interact
with them. And after dinner I asked them
to do the dishes for me and they did and I am so glad! It would have taken me a long time. Collin gave them his entire talk that he gave
about Enos in Primary 3 weeks ago. This
kid is incredibly smart. It was so fun
to listen to him.
And then I got to read some of “The Secret Garden” to him as
he laid in bed and I got to watch him fall asleep. I don’t even remember the last time I got to
watch him fall asleep. He has become
such a big boy. I studied his features
and realized just how big he has grown.
Oh, I love my Collin.
