Here's a cute picture of Caleb dragging around his favorite blankie! This is a new thing - he likes to pull it out of his bed and drag it all over the house. Last night he wouldn't go to sleep until I put that blanket in the bed with him. It's really cute to me now, but I'm sure at some point it will become not so cute! And yes, he does still have a pacifier! He steals that out of his bed too, because he's only supposed to have it at night. Oh well - I'll get rid of it soon! By the way, yes that is a giant mountain of laundry in the background - we call it Mt. Veclothesius! It might as well have a name, because it seems to always be there!

How cute! Blankie's are important, Mom. Might as well name the laundry, it becomes so much a part of the family. :)
I received this today and thought of you, Mandy. I don't know who the author is but I'm sure it was a Mom. It said:
Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
Let that baby have his blanket. If he wears that one out, Mama Gina will make him another one!pap
Awww!!! Asher just started doing this too!!! Sometimes he'll go and pull his blanket out of his bed!!! :) Sooo sweet!
