Are you afraid of the dark?

Easter and mothers day came and went. We were all sick with a stomach virus for Easter so that was no fun at all. Mothers day was good. Went out with hubs fam on Saturday and on Sunday we went to my grandmothers for lunch. Nothing too crazy.

Last weekend we went to a baptism and something strange happened to my oldest that night. Maybe I'm overthinking the whole thing, but I think he encountered something that resulted in him being scared out of his mind. Since that night, he has not slept a full night and wakes up crying and wanting to get in bed with us. Long story short, there was someone at the party that refuses to set foot in a church because he believes in 'other' things, he 'blessed' one of the other children there and that night my son was screaming and pointing at the closet and when I brought him into another room he cried more and pointed to the corner of the ceiling. I know he saw something and it's freaky. Ive heard that children can see things we adults cannot see because they are innocent beings. They don't know what we know about the world. Anyway, I get goosebumps every time I talk about it. It's something I never wanted my son to encounter but unfortunately he did. I do believe in good and evil, angels and demons. I wonder if there have been other children who have seen good or bad spirits. I wonder how he will learn how to not be afraid in the dark anymore. Any suggestions?

From April

There is nothing like being a mom. It also takes a while to start to feel like one too. I had that moment with my first child, that 'wow' moment. I've been wondering if I will have that feeling again for baby number 2. I know I have more than one child, but I didn't have the wow moment with it yet like "wow..... I have 2 kids!?!". It's shocking and overwhelming at times with everything I have to do, but it's well worth it.

My little guy has been doing great and at almost three months old he can hold up his little head! So proud :). My oldest has been helping me more and more with Lukas and just things in general. They range from putting the pacifier in the baby's mouth to helping me pick up the floor and doing laundry. Such a big helper!! I'm happy he is getting used to having a little brother. The whole jealousy thing was getting old and I was way over it. I guess kids just have to get used to things at their own pace. Until next time!
