Sweethearts, Summer and Swings

Eliza has not been sleeping well lately.  It's been so bad I took her to the doctor yesterday and there's nothing wrong but a terrible case of baby acne.  It has now spread down her chest and to her diaper.  I thought it had to be a rash thinking she must be allergic to something but no.  She's pretty congested too so that could be the reason she's not sleeping good.  Since she was propped up on daddy here she slept a good 3 hours.  I love these two sweethearts.  She's also real fussy and the doctor thought she could possible be developing colic.  Please pray that that's not the case.  I think I'll go crazy if she's colicky. 
  
It was Conner's turn to say family prayer this morning and this is how his prayer went.  Dear Heavenly Father.  We are thankful for this day and that we are able to go to school.  We are thankful that summer vacation is only 2 1/2 weeks away.  Please help us to have a good summer and do fun things since we can't go to Georgia and then he ended it.  I thought that was funny that the majority of his prayer was about summer and nothing to do with what may be happening today.  He is so excited for summer vacation. 

Last night at Sam's baseball games the other kids were playing at the park and Conner finally got the hang of swinging all by himself.  Sometimes my kids are slow learners.  He was so proud of himself.  He has also mastered the monkey bars after several years and has the blisters on his hands to prove it. 

Poor Sam and baseball.  He's just not that good at it and he knows it.  He was practicing with Neil this week and finally just said I'm just lousy at baseball.  Last night we had to get pictures taken and on our way to the game afterwards he asked if we could just go home.  He said he was no good at it and didn't like baseball anymore.  That broke my heart.  Poor boy.  He still didn't hit the ball during the game and on his last swing he didn't really try.  I think he felt defeated.

Lucy came home from her little preschool this morning and as she shut the front door she said I had a really good day to day Mama in her hard to understand speech.  For some reason it seemed like such a grown up thing to come out of her mouth.
