Plug free!

God definitely works in mysterious ways. Recently, Jason and I had to start thinking about how to get the plug away from Sean. He LOVED his blanket & plug. We wouldn't dare forget them if we left the house and if Sean was sleepy or crabby, they better be close by. We were worried about how we were going to even approach taking away his pacifier. Well, last week, while Sean had hand, foot & mouth, he wasn't able to use his plug because he couldn't make the seal with the sores in his mouth. It hurt too bad. Watching him go through that virus was pure torture and I'm pretty sure the hardest thing any of us have had to watch him go through. But, one blessing and probably the only blessing out of the whole thing was that he stopped asking for his plug. And, even when he started feeling better, he'd make "the noise" signifying that he wanted his plug and I'd just say, "Are you sure? It might make your mouth an owie". He'd think about it and then just move on. Yesterday, he didn't mention it at all. Thank God for blessings (even torturous blessings) in disguise!

On Sunday, we had a bbq for Sean's 2nd birthday. We are so blessed with family & friends who love us. For any of you that have kids, you know that one of the greatest things someone can do for you is love your kid/kids. I never have to worry that Sean isn't loved enough and I thank God every day for the people who love us. I'm pretty sure either me or Jason will have to move out at some point though, because Sean's stuff is taking over. We're running out of room - fast! And, Christmas is only 3 months away...yipes!
