Let Us Not Grow Weary while Doing Good

It's the title of a Children's song by Steve Green. "Let us not grow weary while doing good. In due season, we shall reap." It's taken directly from Galatians 6:9. As I left work yesterday, I was dreading going home. Kevin's parents had Noly, so that meant I only had to take care of Jule...but that meant I had to take care of Jule...alone. He's just so difficult. It seems like no matter what we try, he is not happy for longer than a few minutes. That Scripture came to mind, and it reminded me that, in time, he will get better. He won't cry excessively forever. Either we will get to a specialist for help, or he will grow out of it. It's just SO hard to hold on to that fact sometimes.

What helps is seeing his precious smiles and hearing his sweet coos. I love seeing him happy and watching him learn new things. He is trying desparately to laugh and is sooo close to doing it. He is also trying to roll over from his tummy to his back, and I see hints that he is trying to roll from his back to his tummy too. In the past couple of days, he has found his hands. He mostly tries to suck on the back of his hand, but he also rubs his eyes when he is tired...so cute! He is such a cuddly baby, and I hope he stays that way for a long time!

Noly's 3rd Birthday is today! We both woke her up and quietly told her Happy Birthday. We took her downstairs and gave her a present and sang to her. She wanted to stay home with us and did not want to go to Brenda's, but I told her she was having a Birthday party there today. I told her all about her cupcakes, and she seemed fine with going then. She was so cute when she carried her cupcakes into Brenda's and wanted to eat them for breakfast! Yuck! She definitely descended from my mom.

I think Kevin will be home tonight. He's trying his best to stay home more often until Jule gets better. Brenda's birthday is tomorrow, so I'll probably take Noly to the store to buy Brenda some flowers from the kids. Other than that, I hope to get to bed early so I can wake up renewed tomorrow morning. Oh, Jule drank 8 oz last night...he's such a big boy!
