Love

Patience.  Some of us have it and some of us don't.

I know I've been away for a while, but it's been a very hard week.  I'm just glad to get a few minutes to put something together before we roll over the full week between posts!

Last Sunday I found Paige with her hips on the back of the couch, leaning over the back into the window behind it, feet sticking out over the couch, hands and head through the curtains, looking up and down the street!

This is her getting down!  Monday found her in the window!  Completely!

Wednesday she was put down for a nap before we left to go to church.  But, she wouldn't sleep.  So I get ready and then go in to get her.  Here's what I found:

 

She had climbed into the window sill, again!  This time from her crib!

Thursday found her here:

And then Friday, while I was out late running errands, I get a call from Amy.  She asks, "Guess who just walked into our room!  Like it was nothing!"  She had climbed out of her crib!  By herself!  

It appears that we have a climber!

Yet most days find her here, at least once:

Time out!  Crying, screaming, moaning, wailing!  What drama!

It's enough to drive me crazy!  I love this little girl, but she keeps me worried.  And the temper, the tantrums, the screaming, the crying!  I manage to get-by through it all, but I'm lost when it comes to this behavior.  I was blessed with a calm son.  Yet, that's not Paige!  And it never seems to end!  Haha.  I make it sound bad, but it isn't.  It's just more challenging than I thought it would be.

Yet my wonderful wife decided in the first few weeks of Paige's life, that she was gonna love her through it all.  What a wonderful mother!  She holds her, sings to her, and eventually, calms her!  And that's saying a lot!  Paige doesn't calm down that quickly.

As I've said before, Amy throws herself into all she does.  Being a good mother is no exception.   She puts herself out there with a screaming, clawing, fighting little girl.  I'm amazed as I watch her sing and rock as Paige finally calms down.

I just love to watch the two of them together.  It's always wonderful.  Amy is such a sweet, caring, loving woman that there is no where I'd rather be than sitting next to her.

I Always Love My Wife!
