Andrew has been having difficulty sleeping lately. He's started throwing fits about bedtime and naptime and waking up in the night and waking up really early. I hope it won't last long because he has always been a GREAT sleeper. Anyway, he woke up quite early this morning and I was really tired. He's been kind of sick lately too, so I really hoped he'd sleep longer. Anyway - before I went into his room I quickly prayed that I'd find a way to help him go back to sleep. I picked him up and took him into the living room. I turned off the lights and lay down on the couch. I sat him on the couch beside me and amazingly he just sat there. A few minutes later he said "blankie" so I went and got him his blanket. We then sat there for awhile longer and then he said "night-night". Here's the amazing part - he then got up, went into his room and climbed into his crib all by himself and went back to sleep. If that isn't a miracle - I don't know what is. Sleeping kids really are some of the best little blessings.

That is amazing! I could only dream that Damon would ever do that! What a great little boy. Thank goodness for answered prayers. You are such a great mom.
Wow, that really is a miracle - hey, could you pray for my kids too? : ) Such a great post - your kids will learn of the power of prayer because you recognized and recorded it. You are an example to me! love & aloha.
You are just one of those people that has amazing faith. I wouldn't have even thought of praying, I would just put in a movie and hate myself later for it. Sorry I haven't made a post about Jared yet, hopefully I will get to it, life is crazy right now as you can imagine.
Ahh yes, there is nothing more wonderful then a peacefully sleeping child. I actually have both sleeping right at this moment. I should go do something to celebrate, like take a nap.
You have such cute kids. They are so sweet, and I know it is because you guys are such wonderful parents. Truly.
