We know how to pull it together in the knick of time, but there are days like today where there is nothing better than a good batch of tears. Uncle Brant, it is just the girl in us, you will never understand. Olivia has had three rotations of sobbing and a time of cradling in my arms while being rocked back into "it's okay" world. I am not sure what is going on around here. Snuggles, hugs, kisses, motivational speeches, referee, teacher,nurse, cook, maid and techno-savy chick...Whew, what a day. It is just one in this life of ours.
So with the gift giving, cookie baking, carol singing, present wrapping, book reading, advent opening times, take time for a few tears, if that is what will work for you.

It's amazing how a good cry can make you feel 100% better sometimes. It alarms my husband when it happens, because I'm not generally a cryer, but it sure gets me back on track.

Olivia has such a precious sad little face. Oh, those poor little red eyes. I can so feel her pain! :)
Poor baby! I'm glad you mentioned the caroling. I have a confesion. Raleigh and I were asleep on the couch last night when at 9:10 our doorbell rang and singing began. I knew what it was, but I also knew it was late and I wasn't dressed for company. Needless to say, we hid! This lead to massive guilt this morning about making Raleigh miss out on his first caroling experience. Oh well. Mom says I will live with the guilt forever!
Sometimes a good cry is all you need. :-) I had a crier today in my room. No reason she just cried over everything. A little humor and hand holding helped.
Tomorrow is Wednesday!!! Drew is looking forward to it.
Ayeeeeee!
