Patience

Its not very surprising that having a new born with the sleepless nights and fussy days, can sometimes be very testing on my patience. I have tried praying for patience because I don't like when I act frustrated with Calvin. In result I have been blessed with longer nights and fussier days. I guess you have to go through the trials before you can change right?

Well today Taron, Calvin and I were walking through Porter Park when we came to a long strip of the pathway blocked by the spray from sprinklers. We stopped, hesitated, then Taron turned to me. "You know you want to." Without further hesitation I charged through them pushing the stroller as fast as I could. It was so fun we even did another lap around the park so I could do it again. The second time through I was laughing..Calvin was crying. I peeked under the cover of the stroller at Calvin and he was all wet! Apparently there was a hole where the two covers for the stroller come together.

Ooops!

Maybe I should start praying that Calvin will have the patience to put up with us as his parents.

A little bit sleepy?

Taron and I recently decided that we were poor so I went and applied for food stamps. During my interview, Calvin was being fussy and it was taking a long time because there was a lot of information the guy needed to put into the computer. So there I was rocking Calvin in his car seat, not paying attention to the guy at all when I looked up and had to do a double take...stare at him for a good minute just to be sure, and yup, sure enough he was asleep!!! Sitting straight up, one hand on the keyboard and one hand on the mouse. Well this is awkward. I sat there for a minute or two more trying not to wake him up by my stifled chuckles...then a minute or two more... what do I do? Taron replied to a text I send him was, "are you sure he is still breathing?" I'm pretty sure he is breathing... so I turned the noise up on my phone hoping the text message sound would wake him up and texted Taron a few more times all the while planning my escape for help if he wasn't breathing. Didn't even stir, well sometimes its handy to have a baby. I messed with Calvin until he let out a cry and the man jumped awake and muttered an apology. Something about a long night. Lol poor guy! I tried so hard to hide my smile but there was no way he didn't notice the big grin on my face while I told him not to worry about it.

I kick my self every day for not taking a picture of him sleeping.
