1. Lydia's new phrases. It seems like every day she comes up with something new to say. This week, it's been, "Don't worry 'bout it. I get it." She says this alot in reference to Noah. She also said, "Mommy good mommy." That melted my heart. It's fun hearing what's going on in her head. She is so full of life and so much fun as she is learning all new things that go on around her.
2. Noah exploring. Noah is so serious and thoughtful. Everything he sees, he contemplates and studies it. When we put him in the exersaucer, he studies and manipulates all the toys. He is careful in his movements and seems to want to know how things work. Definitely doesn't take after me:)
3. Coming home to a clean house. I went to a girls night this week and when I got home, Daniel had cleaned the house. It was a nice surprise. Normally, he's super busy with work. I don't mind cleaning, I mean, it's my job. Daniel does a good job helping out.
4. Lydia praying. Lydia always prays when she hears sirens. She insists we stop what we are doing to pray for those who are hurt. It's fun to hear what she prays for at night, too. She thanks God for Grumpy, Grams, Lollie and Pops. Sometimes she prays for her booboos. Tonight, she prayed for baby Levi, our friend in Oklahoma who's sick, to feel better. I love hearing her unprompted prayers.
5. Lydia and Noah playing. Lydia is such a good big sister. She tries so hard to take care of Noah. Today, he was crying in his bed and she went in. "I go in first, Mama. Noah, I get you, buddy. Are you Okay? I comin Buddy." When he first sat in the exersaucer, she looked at him and said, "Yay, Noah! You're a big boy now!" Noah first smiled at Lydia and she was the first to make him laugh. I love seeing their relationship grow. I know that there will be many fights ahead, but I also hope that they'll always be special to each other.
Lately, I've been thinking alot about where I want to be - I want to be in Oklahoma, I want to fit into my prepregnancy clothes, I want my children to sleep through the night, ect. But when I stop and think about it, I am truly blessed for the gifts I have. Everyday, I have reason to get up and smile, not only because of my precious kids or my amazing husband, but because of my Lord and Savior who died for me. When I feel not content or long for what I don't have, I need to remember what I do have and be grateful.
