Monday:

I think today I caught a little glimpse of what Heaven is going to be like. It all started in the morning after I had brought Annabelle in bed with us during the night. Liam came in and snuggled up next to me under the covers. We all decided to finally roll out of bed around 8:15 when we all had breakfast, and hung out and played on the couch. Annabelle began to get kinda grouchy just before her nap, so all three of us headed back to her room so that I could rock her in the rocking chair. It wasn't long till she fell asleep, all squishy baby like, when Liam asked to rock in the chair as well. I shifted Annabelle over to my right hip and pulled him on on my left. Both were as cuddly as they have ever been. Annabelle starting to softly snore as her binky began to slip out of her mouth and Liam's eye lids looking heavier and heavier, I laid my head against them and we all cuddled and rocked for a bit. It was the best moment in my motherhood. Once Liam noticed that he was falling asleep, he asked to get down and he did. I laid Annabelle down and Liam and I moved to the living room. We sat on the couch and he said, "I like Annbell." I smiled and said, "I know, she's pretty sweet." I didn't think the day could get much better until nap time, when we got to do it all over again. It's moments like these that fill up your Mom Cup and allow you to make it through the week.

Dinner was the first night I think we all sat at the table and no one had to get up, even once, to get something random, and we all just sat and enjoyed each others' company. Liam has really started to watch Annabelle and talk to her. He said tonight, "You make noise. You don't have batteries (babbies). You don't turn on." Phillip and I found this to be hilarious. Oh the things that go through his mind. Earlier he was telling Phillip how much he liked Annabelle. "We have take care Annbell. We have to take her to hospital." I don't know where he gets this. He wasn't here for her birth, or our re-admittance to the hospital. I don't remember ever telling him this either. I think it's kinda funny that he says such a thing.
