Sunny 9 for 2006 January 28

Screwtape Letters. It sounds so simple, but emotions are so complicated. What a testimony builder.

For the past week, Lily has been waking up screaming as opposed to me hearing happy chatter and giggling. She proceeds to cry through her diaper change and then until she is in her high chair with food on it. After she is done eating, not without a tantrum being thrown again, she cries to get out and then cries until nap time. Then she cries and hour after she has napped, again a half hour later, and then cries to get out after she has been in there for 2 hours--if I am lucky. Then she cries until she sees her dad right before dinner. Then dinner and then a blood curdling cry when we put her in bed. The point is, I must be holding her or reading to her or on the floor with her at all times. Even then, she still reserves the right to cry. I know she is teething which is why I give her plenty of infant Motrin, (all four molars coming in and one lower tooth in addition) but Lily, will you puh-lease stop crying?

And to top it off, Aaron has been gone all day helping a friend, and I have been alone with her again oh my helpmeet day! I should take her to the doctor Monday to see if she has an ear ache.

In other news, I have started to paint Lily's room a pale butter yellow and it is almost done. Maybe sleeping in the office is why she is so mad all the time?
