Prayers, TeePee’s and lots o’ Sneezes and Smiles
Jocelyn has been feeling a little under the weather this week and has been sneezing almost as much as she has been smiling. Liam has taken notice of the sneezing and is very “concerned”. In other words he screams to get my attention and then kinda makes a cry noise. So after a little bit of this I decided that I should teach him to pray for her to feel better, after all prayers are not just for mealtime. So we held hands all three of us and prayed for Jocelyn to get better. When we were done he said “meme” for Amen and then used his sign and words to say “more”. So we prayed again, and again and again. At this point Jocelyn should be all better right? It was actually so cute and will be one of my favorite memories for a long time.
Jocelyn is starting to cough and sneeze less, but the smiles keep coming. Her smile does look a lot like Liam’s at that age and she does have two dimples, one in each cheek. Thing is her cheeks are so big you don’t really see them most of the time.
Liam has been in and out of anything and everything he can this week so we were thinking about getting a play tube but they are too expensive. My search for a reasonable one lead to a pattern to make a tee-pee. Perfect. So Liam and I made a tee-pee yesterday for under $10. It still needs some refining but he will never know and I am just happy he has something new for cheap that will help keep him entertained.
This week has been long and quick all at the same time. Swim lessons are going just so-so at this point. Liam struggles with the instructor but he took a few minutes to play with Liam after last weeks class and I think it may help for next lesson.
With Jocelyn being under the weather these last few days we have been staying close to home and it has made the days feel like an eternity. Yesterday I hit tilt and I was greatful that Charlie called at just the right time to say he was on his way home. He quickly understood when he got home why because Jocelyn proceeded to cry for the next three hours which is very unlike her. She had slept almost none yesterday and didn’t got to bed until almost 10 about two hours later than normal. I hope today is better.

I LOVE the teepee! It’s super! I’ll have to get the pattern and make one for all the grandkids to have at Papa and Grammas. =)

Jocelyn looks noticeably bigger since the last pictures I saw. She is soooo cute! And Liam has his Grandma Tracys beautiful blue eyes and black eyelashes.
