wHiSPeR!   Thinking of the theme for this week’s challenge....these came to mind....new baby and lack of sleep kind of whisper, and asserting her two year old self roar, when a whisper would suffice.
Fortunately when Noah Jacob finally falls asleep, even Lileigh Grace’s roar does not wake him....i am sure the angels are softly singing to him so he doesn’t notice!
Having a new baby invade her space has Lileigh Grace asserting herself over her domain.  EVERYTHING is hers....and i do mean everything down to the fixtures in the house!
Life is a balancing act and she is learning....sometimes the hard way! She is used to everything BEING hers....her Mama, Daddy, Mmmm-ma and Poppy, the dog, her toys....the world has been her oyster and her’s alone.  This little interloper has tipped the scale here, and it is no longer in her favor alone! I am doing my best to let her know that even tho Noah as arrived ....and is here to stay....she is still my baby, and i adore her.
when changing Noah, she helped me, doing a great job....then when i had to carry him back downstairs, she had a fit!  She wanted me to carry her,,,,usually she fights me to let her do the stairs herself!  i had her climb on the bed and i picked her up onto my left hip, baby Noah in my right arm and carried them both down.  We sat on the sofa and she looked up at me with those big brown eyes and said “Mmmm-ma have 2 babies!” and her face just lit up like the sun!  Yes indeed....Mmmm-ma has 2 babies that she adores.....unconditionally!
Hope your week is going smoothly....it is a full moon week and “herding eels” has been a challenge at school this week.  i need a hot rock massage!!  Yes i do!
