Happy Thoughts

I decided to start this blog at a kind of crazy time around the house. I must say it has actually helped keep me a little sane b/c I've had a way to "talk" about everything that's going on around here. Even though there has been A LOT going on this week it really will be ok. The thing is that taking care of sick little boys may not be the most fun I've ever had, but in some way I've actually gotten a little enjoyment out of it. (Yes, I say this fever free.) These are my little guys & I am so blessed to be the one that gets to take care of them. I am the one that they want when they are feeling bad. Not everyone gets to experience that. I would do absolutely anything for them! I think I've already started to prove that by what we've been through this week.

Here is a little example:
I had Charlie this morning & passed him off to Zach b/c I needed to get out of the bed to go to the restroom. When I was out of his sight Charlie got cranky. I crawled back into bed & in his fussing Charlie was leaning toward me & saying "ma ma ma". Zach & I both agreed he wanted me. So, I took him in my arms & snuggled into my shoulder & was calm. Now, that is a happy feeling you just can't buy!

Charlie has been saying mmmmm ma ma ma since about 5 months old mostly when crying. When he's happy he says ba ba ba. (I have no idea what that's for.) I realize he's still too young to know what he's saying, but this morning he got his point across. I was thrilled! John Christian was saying "Da Da" at 6 months & didn't say anything close to Mama until 10 months old. :)
