After six months, I think Anna Claire and I have finally learned how she likes me to hold her to get sleepy....she likes to be held low against my chest - laying against my left shoulder, so she can such her right thumb. THEN after a little while - she will propel herself to my right side so she can lay across me and continue to suck her thumb. She's so funny - very particular about these things!
When she lays across me and is almost asleep, it's the most touching feeling - just knowing how priceless the time is - how trusting she is - the bond between us. I know that she will get older and won't *want* me like she does now, and that's a hard reality to anticipate, but for today she loves me and I can meet her needs. What a blessing - words can't convey the emotion properly.
Andy said to Jackson yesterday, "Man, I thought youth ministry was rewarding....but it can't compare to her." She has just rocked our world in the best way.
