The Mittens Are On

Dearest Joshua David~

So in an attempt to help you not scratch your face any longer, I placed little mittens on your hands! They lasted a little bit, and then you wiggled out of them because they were loose on you. I think next time I'll try socks.

Since you had a long, fussy evening last night (stayed awake for over 6 hours with crying fits), you and I both had to take naps this morning. Once you finally calmed down, around 9:30pm last night, you slept until 2am this morning! Whoa! I think that's the longest you've gone! Now, if we could only extend that a few more hours daddy and I would be very happy!

As I was changing and feeding you this morning at around 5am, I asked you if you were going to help change and feed me when I'm old and gray. You did your little half smile and then peed. :-)

You had a nice nap for a full 2 hours this afternoon as I was holding you. Sometimes you squirm a little, but this time you were in a deep sleep and I listened to you breathing and gave you kisses. It reminded me of when you were still in the hospital, and I would come see you and hold you for hours at a time. You would fall asleep in my arms then. I'm so grateful you're healthy and home now!

Tomorrow daddy has off, so we'll be home as a family again! I know you can't wait!

Sleep tight!

I love you very much!

  1. Dearest Joshua,

    Some people are calling for snow tomorrow. You may want to keep those mittens on, then. I have to have a scene done for my writing group, and tomorrow’s just about the only day I can get it done. I don’t suppose you have a 5,000 word scene lying around that I could borrow?
