A "Funny" for the day

Things have not been nearly as smooth as I was expecting coming home with another kiddo...though I have never doubted God's blessing of little Levi to us OR God's will for this adoption. Three kids three and under is hard and that is all there is to it. Juliana was so kind to sit with me, sitting with Levi, while Levi screamed his head off until he puked this afternoon after naptime. I still don't know for sure what he was screaming about, but now he is happy, in clean clothes and rolling around on the floor like his usual happy self. As I was changing Levi's clothes the following conversation ensued:

Me: Good job, Levi! You're not screaming anymore!

Juliana: (in an announcer-type voice) Yeah, good job, little boy! You are a credit to your community!

Me: (laughing hilariously) Where in the world did you hear that from? Did you hear that from Daddy?

Juliana: (laughing hilariously) I don't know. Go ask your dad!

Hi Erin-
I know first hand that three little ones takes a whole new kind of Super-Mom, but it will get better. At the end of the day your kids know they are loved very much by you guys, and that is all that matters. I know you are doing a great job!

Thank you for the encouragement! Mommas like you who are in the midst of or past this stage in raising many "littles" offer the most encouragement to my heart. Thanks for laboring alongside me and knowing how hard (and how awesome) it really is.
