A Sweet Moment

Early Sunday morning at about 3:30 Gordon woke up. He didn't really want to eat, he just woke up. I picked him up and layed him on my chest to get him back to sleep, but he wasn't interested in sleeping right at that moment. He looked over at the night light and started cooing and even laughed. Then he looked up above my head and smiled and cooed some more. I knew he was seeing someone there and was talking to them by this time and just watched his interaction. He cooed and smiled back and forth at the two spots for a few minutes then looked right into my eyes and pointed his hand at me and smiled. He then looked up above my head one more time and had a serious look on his face and then looked back at me and closed his eyes to go to sleep.

I realize that some may not see this as anything special, but to me it was. I have to thank whoever that angel was for letting me have such a special experience with my baby and then helping him go back to sleep without any problems. I've always believed that babies can see angels, but this was the first time I have watched my baby actually interact in a real way with one.

Just thought I would share!

Mom's Craziness

I was just thinking the other day that I should really post more often because my kids can be so darn funny at times. Well, today isn't one of those days, but the story is funny none the less and any mother can relate.

This morning I got up and got Eddie dressed while Gordon was still sleeping. Eddie got his clothes on just fine but when I went to put his socks on, he didn't want them. No problem, we just have to get them on before getting Sister from the bus which was a few hours later. Then GoGo woke up, so he was fed and dressed, but his diaper wasn't very wet, so I knew the flood would be coming!

The morning progressed with no problem whatsoever and then it was time to pick up Sister from the bus. Eddie's socks go on and I go for his shoes just in time for him to get both socks off within seconds. I put them back on and threaten to leave him home (he knows this trick though) so that doesn't work. I put the first shoe on, the other sock comes off. I get the sock back on, he takes off the first shoe as I'm putting the second shoe on. We do this two more times before I break him and he keeps his shoes on! Then it's time for Gordon to get ready to leave. Sure enough, the fountain erupted and he's soaking wet! It is now five minutes past the time we normally leave for the bus stop, so let's hope the bus is late today! I get Gordon changed with dry clothes and ready to go just in time to find out Eddie took off one shoe and hid his coat. We frantically get the shoe back on, the coat on and we might as well take the car to the bus because more than likely we'll have to drive to the school to pick up Celeste! Like I said - crazy!

I still must say that it is totally worth it. I wouldn't trade my crazy days for anything - well maybe for a not so crazy day!
