Poor thing, I've got rather large teeth too so I feel her pain. Hopefully they come in soon so she's back to being a happy baby!

I hear ya on not spoiling a child. Especially a ten month old. Since my baby's birthday is so close to xmas and we want to have a big party for him, we are going to ask that in lieu of gifts, guests bring a donation to a local charity. My son is happy with a post it note. We don't need anything else and want to give back!

You are such a great mom and such a great person. What a good idea to spend the extra money on someone truly in need. You are a great example. I want to do that next year. There is something really magnificent in a person willing to help another they will never meet. Merry Christmas, Bev. Got your card today. thank you! Your family is so darling.

Thanks for this post, Bev! I agree with you 100% about giving. It's so important to our family. Ethan (who is almost 4) told me this year that he wanted these 2 certain racecars from Santa, but that he has enough toys, and to tell Santa to take the toys to other kids, whose moms and dads don't have money to buy them gifts. I was in tears, and felt so good that my not-quite-4 year old "gets" it--more than most adults. Raising a grateful, selfless child, is the most wonderful thing.

Hope you had a great Christmas, and enjoy your time off with Lucy!

I know that feeling exactly - when you mentioned holding the purple umbrella. I get a lump in my throat and a heavy feeling in my chest. A very religious friend of mine told me once that those feelings are God speaking to you. Now, I'm not a "religious" person by any means...more spiritual (if I have to categorize myself)...But I like the idea of God speaking through people with that feeling. I think it's a nice thought.
