These are my favorite times. My prayer-fueled child sleeps beautifully every afternoon for 2-4 hours. I thank God every time I lay him down, then again when I pick his sleepy little face up. This is my precious time, my nap time, my working out time or my clear-the-cobwebs-out-of-my-skull-blogging time. I need it and Summit needs it to have a non-crazy momma. 
I was talking to another mom today at the center where Summit goes for his therapy. She has a child the same age as Summit with Down’s Syndrome. We were discussing whether or not to let our children attend the center there full time next year. They require all children who receive services from them when they turn 3 to stay at the daycare all day. There are other options, we could go to other therapy places but there are pros and cons for any decision. Its frustrating to a certain degree, things change, there are good and bad therapists at every place. I am just tired of THINKING sometimes! I think that particular sentiment is being reflected in my blog lately, (the not thinking bit), I have more serious things going on and less silliness to talk about. I’m I started this post with the intent of not being Debbie Downer for once, but here I go again!
I feel like Hawaii. I saw on the travel channel yesterday that Hawaii is the newest land mass in the WORLD! That every day more land is being created by the volcano and oh how my heart yearns to see that some day! Lava is hot- thanks captain obvious- but I was thinking how it’s through destruction that the land is formed. Often the lava flows over highways, houses, trees- anything that is in it’s path is destroyed, but the end result is something larger than it was. Every year the islands get bigger and more beautiful through the red hot destruction. Sometimes the lava flows over itself and in that process the land is thickened and strengthened. So I feel like Hawaii; it hurts but I’m thickening up (hopefully not my waist line) and will be eventually more beautiful.
