You see I have a Micah of my own, and he resembles your golden-haired one in an uncanny number of ways. And six years later, he is starting to grow into his skin, but MY GOODNESS, years two-four almost did us in. Really. Just read this one for the first time, and I giggled the whole way through it.

The day you posted this, I was up with a baby who -- I can only conclude -- must be teething. He wailed from 4:30 until 6 in the morning. (Stopping, of course, just in time for his big sisters to wake.) I did some wailing myself. But Jackson's on to something. Next time I'm feeling sorry for myself (while I'm holding the sweetest, fattest, wailingest little baby), I'm going to change my mind. Because, really, this is such a blessing. Even the teething. Thanks for the story. Wow! The day you posted this, I was up with a baby who — I can only conclude — must be teething. He wailed from 4:30 until 6 in the morning.

But Jackson’s on to something. Next time I’m feeling sorry for myself (while I’m holding the sweetest, fattest, wailingest little baby), I’m going to change my mind. Because, really, this is such a blessing. Even the teething.

Thanks for the story.
