Welcome Back

On Thanksgiving Day and the day after, Elijah had a fever of around 102.  This fever transformed my generally smiley little one to a whiney little boy who only wanted to be held.  I am learning that it is hard to see your little one hurting and uncomfortable and his neediness exposes more of my own selfishness.  This mom is learning her need for the Cross in her parenting.  Thankfully, some Tylenol and a nap brought down the fever and brought back some smiles to both of our faces.  Welcome back Smiley Face!
