Another Wilder Blessing

A moment to rest....How amazing! Both of my children went down for a nap together. I don't think this has happened in the last several months (where they slept 2 hours together) . It feels so good to just have the house quiet enough to think to myself. It may sound selfish, but if you are a mom, you know what a blessing these moments can be.

Other news: Madelyn cut her first tooth on Sunday...We didn't know why she was awake every 2 hours on Saturday night until I was holding her in church and decided to check in her mouth with my finger. She was teething on her vibrating star rattle, a lot on the car ride to church (highly recommend this First Steps Star teething rattle to anyone with a baby). Sure enough a sharp incisor bottom tooth was emerging on her lower gum line. Yeah for Mady! Today she tried a bitter bisquit for the first time. She loved it.

Jayden's creative side has emerged this weekend. First he asked Daddy to play Beach with him on Saturday while Mommy was getting a hair cut. He used his small cars for seashells and pretended the carpet was waves. Then, yesterday while I was sewing some pillows for Jayden's new daybed, Jayden was tossing my grocery bags into the air and saying "The leaves are falling from the trees", as the bags floated in the air. It was so cute. At dinner, Jayden used his fork and spoon to build a fire. He used the utensils to stack his chunks of meatloaf, green beans and Mac and Cheese onto a circle in his plate. He loved watching Dan build a fire during our camping trip last month. In all reality, it kind of looked like a fire with the ketchup from his meatloaf on top.....
