Miss my girls

Wrote you a big long post but blogger app crashed again when I pressed "publish". Technology is keeping me from wanting to do this.

A New Start

5 June 2014

Dear Josslyn,

These letters haven't been consistent. A major roadblock was when the Blogger app on my phone kept quitting whenever I'd try to sign in. Amazing how much we rely on convenient technology now. Makes me wonder how you'll write to your children.

It's 4 a.m. and you, your little sister, and your mom are asleep, but I'm struggling to go back.

You are recovering from a rough few days. You developed a pretty high fever awfully quick the other day. Got up to 102, but plenty of Popsicles and children's Tylenol got you back to where you needed to be.

Sleeping through the night has been a big struggle for you lately, and I've spent more time on the floor next to your bed then I have in my own lately.

Getting you to go to sleep and stay in your need has been a real struggle for all of us since you got your new bed in December for Christmas.

You love your new baby sister though. Today the three of us played a new fun game. You pretended to be stuck behind the pillows on the couch, and would cry out for help, "Super Baby come save me!"

Then I'd pick McKynzie up and put her in the air like Superman or Peter Pan and say, "Super Baby!" You would then grab her hand and she would help save you from the clutches of the couch pillows.

You, mom, and Kynzie walked to Willow Park with the "black stroller," while I drove some neighbors over for the ward party. You loved playing with your friends Hope, Scarlett, and Asher. You also saw some of your other nursery friends.

You didn't each much. Just a hot dog and some cupcake, but your appetite hasn't been great with your stuffy nose.
