I'm trying to savor my last few days with just one little boy! It makes me sad sometimes to realize that Elijah is four and won't be little much longer. As it is, he's more than a handful to hold, especially having much less room on my lap lately! We still get plenty of snuggles in though!
I love, love, love that Elijah's personality is showing up more and more. He will often smile at appropriate times, and if you laugh at something, he'll often join you with a grin. It's a big thing for me that he's beginning to be able to "play", like responding to being tickled or even to just a playful tone in my voice.
Today Elijah, Todd, and I went to the "big city" for Elijah's Botox shots. The poor boy had about twelve needle pokes in his legs. (Botox is to reduce spasticity, but only works for a few months.) As usual, Elijah was a total trooper concerning pain. He didn't start crying until about the 7th or 8th shot. Being his momma, those last four or five pokes lasted an eternity! I would have so gladly taken those shots for him!
We also found out this past week that Elijah will probably need surgery early next spring on his hips. One of his hips has come further out of the socket and will have to be repaired surgically to prevent pain and dislocation. I'm glad it's a few months away, but to think of him having major surgery has me a bit nauseous.
We will trust You, God, to take care of our little boy that we love so much!!!

Praying for the three of you and your newest little one to be born. I was induced for both Caleb and Emily and it was fine. Second delivery is usually easier. I am praying for you!
I miss you so much, Julie... I wish I were there to spend some time with you and to admire your cute bump as well! :) Love you!
