Sorry for belated posts, but my internet has been going haywire.Friday, January 29th 2010
Today I spent the day babysitting once again, but only little S. today as little J. was at Daycare. Since little S. was still a bit feverish we spent the day cuddling and full of giggles. She makes the cutest faces, my favorite would be this one face were she scrunches up her face and makes snuffling sounds.
When she was having some problems with her second nap it reminded me of a story my pastor told at church one time. There was a grandfather who was visiting with his daughter and his three year old grandson. While walking by the playroom he heard his grandson crying. He went in to investigate to find him in the playpen asking to be let out, so the grandfather picked him up. Then his daughter walked by and said "Dad put him back in the playpen, he's on a 5 minute time out for throwing his toys." So the grandfather put the crying three year old back in the play pen. He sat there for a minute before crawling in and sitting with his Grandson. It's just like Jesus, watching us be punished, but loving us so much He came down and took our punishment for us.
The reason I brought this up was because when I went upstairs in response to a crying little S. for the umpteenth time, I looked down on her little face stained with tears. What did I do? I scooped her up, took her to her mom's room and lay on the bed with her and snuggled for over an hour and a half, watching her play with my face and fingers and hair.It was one amazing moment, and I will always cherish it.
