Also, I am very happy because tonight for dinner we had a vegetarian meal; roasted red potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes and roasted carrots with brown lentils and cheesy french bread. Brad was a little skeptical when I told him dinner was going to be vegetarian but we were both very pleased with the flavors and how full we were when we finished! Yum.
Also, Ruth and I have had a rough past few days. She hasn't been napping or sleeping very well, which means I haven't been either...and that means we've both been cranky. Today was the climax with both of us losing our tempers. I decided to try and remedy the situation by sharing some Eggos...and it
worked! After we finished our peanut butter laden waffles I cleaned off Ruth's hands and pulled her out of her highchair. As soon as she was out she grabbed my hand and led me back to her room so we could play back there and she could look out the window. I was so touched by her innocence and love and how willing she was to play and be happy and forget the rough day we'd had. I appreciate these simple lessons I get to learn from her, and look forward to many more.
