Last night Samuel was wired from a neighborhood party and could not fall asleep. Cherish happily announced that she would sleep with Sammy (instead of Daniel). After they were in bed, I heard Sammy laughing and laughing(!) until he finally fell asleep.
Before retiring for the night, I went to check on the children. (I took the following picture for myself, but I have since decided to share it.) Cherish was sleeping in a fetal position, and Sammy was cradled into her lap. It melted my heart.
It was after midnight before I finally crawled into bed, and I hoped that I could sleep in just a bit in the morning to feel rested.
I did get to sleep in and finally got out of bed at 6:45 a.m. I thought it was shocking that my children had slept in so late--until I found these two awake. Cherish had gotten up with Sammy, changed his diaper, and she was taking care of him so he wouldn't wake me up. 💜
We have a servant-hearted child for our oldest. We know we are blessed beyond what we deserve! Cherish is a blessing and a treasure from the LORD!
