"It won't be like this for long..."

For the last week or so Macie has been a little bit of a handful at night. She would cry and cry, and she just wanted her parents. She wanted us to hold her and play with her in the middle of the night! She just got over a bad cold and she had been sleeping in the same bed as Reed and I while we were on our trip. So I think she just needs to get back to her normal routine. Anyway, the last few days I was stressing a little thinking that she was never going to sleep well again. I just kept praying, "Please let her sleep for just a few hours straight. Please help her go back to sleep..." But yesterday when I was on my way home from Winco I heard a song on the radio that felt like an answer to my prayers. I've heard it before, but this time I really listened. (It's the first song on my play list, so when you are done reading this, you should listen to it) I realized that she is only a baby for such a short time, and I need to Cherish it. I need to enjoy those moments I get to hold her and play with her and rock her to sleep because "it won't be like this for long." So last night I fed her and put her to bed. She started to cry and cry, so after a while I got her out of bed and she came and played with me and Reed for a while. She was being so cute and happy, and we loved spending that time together. When I noticed that it was 10:00 I put her back in her bed and she didn't make a peep, she just fell right to sleep. And she did MUCH better during the night. I also put another song on my play list that's called Let Them be Little, so you should listen to that one too:)
