I love my kid!

I definitely think that I have the coolest kid in the world. She is so much fun and has such a great personality. Yesterday, after I got her dressed, she looked down at herself and said, "How cute!". It was so funny! We have so much fun together. Which is why it kills me to have to work 3 days a week. I know some people probably think it's silly of me to complain about 3 days, but my heart wants to be at home with her. I'm really praying that the Lord will provide a way for me to stay at home with her again. I want to be the one who teaches her and socializes her and disciplines her. As her mom, I think I would do it with more love than anyone else in all the world. Yesterday, I went to see a kid at a daycare (for work) and it just broke my heart. The teacher was not very sympathetic to their crying. Some of the kids just needed a big hug to calm them down. It was really sad to watch her walk over to them, pat their heads and say "You're okay" then turn around and leave. A couple of times I just had to intervene and pick the babies up and squeeze them tightly. I'm so lucky that Eva doesn't have to be in a place like this. But it breaks my heart nonetheless to have to leave her. Pray with me that the Lord will provide a way for me to stay home with her again. (I tried to add pictures today but it kept freezing up... maybe tomorrow.)

Ahh, my heart aches for you too. It killed me to leave the kids for just 2 mornings a week...that's why I stopped going to my Portuguese classes and just decided I had to learn it on my own. It wasn't worth it to learn it faster. So I'm learning it slower...so what...I'm at home with my kids which is priority. Oh girl...we will be (and have before...your mom asked us to last spring) asking for a way for you to stay home.
