Don't be. Let everyone at church tickle her, hold her, breath on her, smooch her. The value of being in a loving community far outweighs any danger of a few more bugs.<BR/><BR/>Let her help you, when she's old enough (less than two!). She will want to help you clean the sink and wash the dishes and all those other things you think are just boring chores. To her bubbles on the dishes are magic. Sure, you can do it more quickly without "help", but trust me, you'll miss it when it's gone.<BR/><BR/>And tell her, tell her, tell her how much you love her.<BR/><BR/>And always kiss her goodnight and goodbye.

And that the best gifts to give your child is to love your spouse - and let that love be fruitful in the form of siblings if God so wills. <BR/>"Cooking and cleaning can wait till tomorrow, as children grow up, so I've learned to my sorrow. So go away cobwebs, dust go to sleep. I'm holding my baby, and babies don't keep" (from poem for a fifth child, I can't remember the author)aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687144369505900773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712012.post-32474584793541898832008-03-29T10:40:00.000-04:002008-03-29T10:40:00.000-04:00What a beautiful testimony to the joys of parentho...What a beautiful testimony to the joys of parenthood!Thomas Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217297262702709978noreply@blogger.com
