Becoming sensible

There are still toddler mood swings but it warms my heart to see that AN is becoming increasingly sensible.

She asks for "mem mem and sleep" when it's time for afternoon nap and waits if I qm busy and she's not too badly in need of rest yet.

Recently she's started looking for my Ipod touch when I asked her to lie down first. I'd usually be looking for the mobile device to keep myself occupied while she nurses to sleep. The first time she asked me for my Ipod touch when I asked her to lie down, I didn't know her intention and since we couldn't find it, I did not continue searching for it and AN didn't persist in asking for it too. Subsequently when it's naptime and AN sees my Ipod touch within reach, she'd grab it, jump onto the sofa and push the device in my direction, saying: "here mummy, Ipod touch" and lie down only after I take it from her. She's so dear...

Just a while ago while I was shutting down the laptop so that I could lie with her for the night, she got off the sofa, ran towards the tv and helped switch it off, followed by the speakers.

She doesn't know how these little actions mean the world to me. The Lord has been filling in the blanks that I've been leaving out of Adrielle's life due to my inability to cope with her resistance to certain instrucions that I wished she would obey. I am thankful that while I am unable to continue, the Lord carries us through.

We are blessed.
