Last night was a little rough. James has been really good at sleeping during the night. He usually has a 6 hour stretch and then most the time after he wakes to eat you goes back to sleep for another hour or two. Last night was not one of those nights. For some reason he randomly gets really congested and he has a hard time breathing. I put a humidifier in our room but it only helps so much. He kept waking up because he would cough when he couldn't breath out of his nose. I had to bring him into the bathroom with the shower running on hot three times. The poor little guy just wasn't able to sleep. It's so hard to see him struggling and you can't do much to fix it besides just cuddling with him and trying to help him feel better.
After no sleep last night I figured he would be tired today and take a nap in the morning but he was wide awake. lol We went grocery shopping together and picked up dinner stuff for the missionaries coming over tonight. James will usually fall asleep in the car ride, but that was not the case. He just wasn't in a happy mood this morning at all.
However, after we got home and he ate and napped for about 10 minutes he woke up wide eyed and happy. He just kept smiling and chattering away. It's times like these that make the hard times worth it. I'm fine with not sleeping, forgetting to eat, or living in a somewhat messy house because I have an amazing little boy that has blessed my life in so many ways. Five minutes of his cuteness completely outweighs a hard night. :)
Here is a video of what completely made my day. :)
