Missing Mama

This is a picture a friend, Angie Despain, took (our favorite photographer!) while Andrew was playing with Lucy, Angie's cute little girl. Sometimes it is natural for me to be concerned about Andrew being too 'clingy'. Well, yesterday, James and I talked about a lot of different parenting concerns and questions, and we both decided it's better to have a child that loves you 'too much' than too little. So, instead of being concerned about Andrew loving me 'too much', I'll just love him all I can, and not worry when I see pictures of him like this gazing out the window...

lunch?

The day this video was taken, Andrew had awakened at 3:30am, and not gone back to bed. The video was taken at lunch time while I was grocery shopping. After 'lunch', James tried to put Andrew down for a nap. He was AMAZED when Andrew couldn't fall asleep, even though he had got up at 3:30 that morning! After James showed me this video, I told him it was clearly because of his 'lunch full of sugar.' James response: "Sugar? Oh, is there sugar in homeade strawberry jam? I thought it was just mashed up strawberries." Oh dear.....
