Passing Storm....

It was a rough day today but it ended peacefully, just like one of our crazy Colorado storms.

Lylah had a fever and fell asleep at school in her food. Anyone who knows her knows it's not like her to pass up her lunch! After several tests at the doc office, we still aren't 100% sure of the problem, but she was in better spirits this evening and is resting peacefully, at least for now! More to come on that...fingers crossed that tomorrow is a better day.

In the meantime, Brady experienced his first bout of fear when it comes to storms this evening, when he was trying to go to sleep during a thunder storm (he must take after grandmama) It was so sweet....I laid with him for a while and every time I would bat an eye, he would grab my arm and say "Don't leave mommy, Don't move!". He held on so tight and was so very sweet.

This was after an episode at the dinner table when daddy joked with him that he should try eating his own foot. So Brady grabbed his foot, pulled it to his mouth and chomped down on his own little toe. Guess he didn't realize he was biting himself and wailed in pain for five minutes!

Lesson learned I suppose.

There is something so peaceful about the air after a storm has passed and that's how it felt, at least for a few brief moments, as Lylah slept through her fever and Brady snoozed through his fears.
