Blog worthy

Maddox loves Beckham.
And I know it is true love...
because he shared Teddy with him.
[heart melts here]


We have tried to talk Maddox into a bigger, cuddlier bear...
We have tried changing Teddy's name.
Neither worked.
Maddox sleeps with Teddy every night.
(and usually some really hard and random toy, not suitable for snuggling, also)

However, the biggest news in sleep is this::

Beckham slept from 11:30 last night until 6:30 this morning.
Fed and went back to sleep until 10:00.
Maddox stayed in his bed until 9:00,
then Lance and Maddox moved to the living room so I could stay asleep.

Today, I think I caught a tiny glimpse of Heaven.
Heaven, I tell you!

Around 2:00, all 4 of us took a nap together.
A 2 hour nap.
(Maddox slept 2 1/2 hours)

Lance's work threw us a surprise shower last night (super sweet)...
and I think it wore our little man out.
Both of my boys were really bad during dinner.
They embarrassed Lance and I both.
Maddox took a trip to the bathroom (if you know what I mean) 
and honestly has not been that awful since he first turned 2.
He was put in time out in the handicap stall (post his spanking).
That was a new low for us.
 
But today it doesn't even matter.
I got sleep!!!!!!
Sweet, sweet sleep!

I know this was just a fluke.
He'll be up all night again...

I just wanted to brag a little.
You know, savor the moment.
That's all.

Today the clouds parted...
The angels sang...
And momma got rest!!! 


Thank you, thank you, sweet- sweet boy.

Finally-- I wanted to share this.
Random, I know.
But you might find it fun.

Lance and I had to do this exercise with our preacher before we got married...
Since we were both home, we took it again...
Its kind of fun to see your results...
People tend to show their love the way they want to be loved.
I wasn't surprised by my results.
You can't buy my love or friendship-- just tell me why you love me and unload the dishwasher for me... that's what I need!

We both scored highest with Words of Affirmation
Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important–hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.

No wonder Maddox tells us how much he loves us a trillion times a day...
He probably hears it double that!
