Celebrate Good Times

Just wanted to share our good news with you- We have a new, good NAPPER at our house!

Yes, this is a big deal.

All of last week was spent teaching Tate to nap in his bed, by himself, for extended periods during the day. Yesterday after church I was putting dinner on the table and overseeing three very busy (and tired) children. It was a HUGE blessing to be able to calmly walk upstairs, say "shhh. shhh" to Tate, and to walk back down the stairs just a minute later, leaving a quiet and peaceful baby in his bed. AHHHHHHhhhhhh. This is JOY to me. I can do so much more with two hands free and a cleared head.

It helps that Tate will soothe with any combination of finger(s). This child, who smiles so often, causes me to smile much more frequently, too. God was so good to give us this delight. Oh, and he also slept 5 hours last night. I'm not sure why we got that blessing, too, but I am so thankful today I don't even have words for it. *smile*

I'm so glad that Tate is sleeping better. Yesterday I had about an hour where the whole house was asleep including my husband. It was so peaceful.
