Bug

Drama. That's what Bug is about lately. She is seriously either laughing or screaming; there's not a lot in between. What continues to surprise me about Bug is how amazingly articulate she is compared to where Elliot was at her age. Last night I heard her screaming about 4am. When I checked on her she said, 'mama, I get in bed with you.' I told her no, she would sleep in her bed. Then she told me, 'I scared in my bed. No monsters?'
She's 2 1/2. I realize that many other little people her age could probably convey this to me. But after having Elliot first, this still impresses me. I assured her there are no monsters and prayed for her. With the room cleansed of monsters, she went back to sleep.

wow! i love this picture!! she's got a lot of spunk in her eyes. :)

i'm also impressed that you're awake enough to pray with her & didn't just drag her to bed with you. perhaps this is why my 4.5 year old still likes to sleep with me...
