Emery is now in a big kid bed. It has been so much easier than I had originally dreaded. I really thought sleeping and staying in the big bed would be a constant, weeks upon weeks battle. But, like usual, my easy-going kid has proved that she can handle it. At night we have no problems. She lays down and doesn't get up. Nap time is a little harder, but so far had more successes than failures. Most days I just have to lead her back into bed once or twice, then we're good as gold.
I'm so glad that God knows us better than we know ourselves; because he knows that patience is not one of my strongest assets. I daily pray James 1:19, that I be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. He is so good and faithful to know us best. He knows how easily I can be overwhelmed by a strong-willed child and Emery can be very strong-willed, but also so good with listening and learning and following directions. He compliments her strong will with the willingness to listen and follow! What an amazing Creator we have! I am so thankful for her and the perfect way that God has made her. It makes me even more anxious to see what part our dear, sweet, Eladie will play in our family! I believe they will compliment each other perfectly and God will continue to bless us as I continue to pray James 1:19 and seek Him and His ways.
(P.S. Still no offers for our house...please continue to pray for that!)
