The Daily Hailey

Today was like most other Sundays. We lead music in the service, which I guess isn’t something that happens every Sunday, but regularly anyway. Brady and chatted with friends until our pastor actually came and told us to stay as long as we wanted but that he was locking the door so we could leave whenever and everything would be safe. We are so often among the last people at church, haha! We can’t help it! We have amazing friends 🙂 Dekker slept until we left. I love it when he does that!

For lunch, we had burgers with my parents and spent the afternoon watching Larry Crowne and playing cards. I was exhausted and completely a poor sport, and lost every game. Awesome. In the evening, we had big salads and chicken strips, and watched yet another movie, Finding Neverland. SUCH a sweet movie. I don’t love the “message” they try to express in the end, but the entire show is very well done. Dekker slept most of the day away. He’s been sleeping like crazy again recently, and I’ve been attributing it to him still working on his cold, and most likely growing like a weed. However, his appetite is getting less and less. I’m sure he still eats like a horse compared to lots of kids but much less than he used to eat anyway. He’s even started spitting up again. Sigh. Not ok with that. I mean, he’s not even remotely close to how he was a year ago, or even six months ago, but once in a while he’ll all of a sudden spit up milk or fruit. So I assume he’s feeling overfull. But it seems like a growth spurt is a strange time to lose your appetite! I don’t know. He’s getting really great at communicating so I’m just trying to follow what he says. If I ask him if he wants something, he’ll either shake his head or reach for it. So it gets cleared up quick. Just seems strange.

However, this evening when I went in for my nighttime cuddle and said “Dekker, do you want to come cuddle with me?” he gave a sweet little smile and shook his head’no!” Little punk! I teased him and he got all cute and came over. So I guess I don’t always listen to what he wants, but mother knows best 😉
