I’ve just put Will down to bed and Joe is reading Joseph his story before he goes down. It has been a long and good day. It is rainy here and cool but not cold. A gray day that is perfect for napping, an unattainable activity for a mama with two small children. Will was up in the night last night too, which is so rare, and a nap would have been much needed today. We are finally going to see a gastroentomologist this week to get some better medicine for his reflux. The Zantac seemed to be helping for a little while, but he has been miserable this past week and with our upcoming trip to Virginia, he needs to be better since we’ll be away for so long. Last night, he was up from 3-4 AM and I finally got him to sleep by nursing him in bed with us and then snuggling him closely with him on his tummy. I dozed for a bit and then carefully carried him back to his crib around 5:00 AM. He was crying again just now and so I helped him drop off to sleep and then got started on tonight’s work. I’m back now and want to post this before I go to sleep. On Saturday night, we try to get everything clean and ready for the Sabbath so that it will truly be a day of rest. Having an uncluttered house, the table set, and church clothes laid out on the ends of beds really help us get going in the morning. Enjoy your “day of rest and gladness!”
