My favorite conversation with Lucy so far…

Luke has never been a great sleeper – and the fact that he has had ear infections all winter long hasn’t helped. But, because his ears are clear and he is 13 months old –  two nights ago we decided Luke needed to endure some sleep training (aka – the cry it out method…which makes you feel like a HORRIBLE person.)  After an hour of Luke crying, Lucy woke.   ”Mommy!!” she screamed.   So I ran down the hall.  ”Mommy, I just want to go and rub Luke’s back so he stops crying.”  ”Me too, Lucy,” I said.  ”That’s exactly what I want to do.”  The next night before bed she said, “Can I sleep with Luke so if he wakes up crying I can take care of him?”  Oh Lucy.  You bring us so much joy.
