like mother, like daughter
Last night was a long one. Which automatically makes for a long day... but today, instead of going back to bed, I got to go to the Christmas Idea House with my dear mother. Even though we missed the first bus, ate runny (albeit tasty) quiche for breakfast, and browsed through a crowded house full of not-as-fancy-as-to-be-expected decor, we had fun. We always have fun together. And we came home exhausted.
Why do I feel like I've been up since before dawn?! Oh, that's right... because I have been! Elsie's hardly slept in the past 24 hours, poor thing. She was acting kind of fussy last night, and it steadily got worse. Only her brother could distract her from her ear tugging and restlessness. Poor baby. But man, does she LOVE her big brother! And sibling bath time. So cute :) Anyway, after much rocking, singing, and other such useless attempts at distracting, we called for backup: a Priesthood blessing. Thank Heaven for good friends who answer desperate late night phone calls! Little miss got her blessing and was able to fall asleep in her mother's arms. Cuddling a ball of yarn.I love my mom. I love my daughter. And I love that I'm both. *B
Sounds a lot like an ear infection... CURSES!
ReplyDeleteThat is cute that she fell asleep with a ball of yarn. You are starting her young Beth.
ReplyDeleteAwww. I love that she's snuggling yarn. She is so your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI hope you weren't going to use that yarn later, because maybe it's her new lovey... if you're LUCKY!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope the little doll feels better soon. Heaven forbid it is an ear infection = no fun, but I guess you're there anyway no matter what it is :(
My heart aches with empathy for you! I love your sentiment about being a mother and a daughter! You are so lucky to be able to experience both at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm the lucky one.
ReplyDeleteFamilies are GREAT! And the ball of yarn sleeping makes me happy :) Love you! XOXO
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about her, poor thing!! I hope that everything is going okay with her now. Speaking of now, what are you guys up to?? can't wait to hear all about it!
