The Adventures of
David
Elizabeth
and Leif

One day last month, Leif cast his vote for the Mommy of the Day Award. And the winner was…ME!! Here’s what happened:

Leif was napping in his car seat in the nursery, and I use the word “napping” loosely, because he was pretty fussy on and off for the whole thing. It didn’t sound too serious so, cry-it-outer that I am, I let him work it out for a while. But then, after a bit of silence, Leif gave out a sudden, high-pitched squawk that sent me running.

Why, you may ask, would Leif have cast his vote for such a bad mommy as me?? Well, given that he cannot yet comprehend sarcasm, the answer must be that I’m the only Mommy around, so I win everyday! Mwa-ha-ha…my evil ploy has worked yet again!

In other news, Leif rolled over today.

In honor of our pastor’s recent adoption of a new little baby, I thought I’d offer some of my thus far accumulated parental knowledge:

1. When wearing earplugs, what you think is the sound of a crying baby may actually be your own nose whistle.
2. Never underestimate the value of a clean burp cloth.
3. It may surprise you how right it can feel to pick another person’s nose.

Enjoy, friends! We rejoice with you!
