I just wanted to share a moment that Christian had that I thought was very sweet. I think it was Thursday (with me working nights I really screw up my weekdays) that Christian told me that I didn't do that right. I was wondering what he was talking about and then he went over to the mantel and did something. I didn't bother to look until later but he had moved my two willow tree baby figures over to the father and son figure. Now, for those of you who don't know me that well, I have had two almost to term stillborns. Christian has always known about them and will occasionally bring their names up (Noah and Samuel). He really misses them, especially the one we lost just last year. He had always wanted a brother and was sad when it didn't happen. Last year my mom had gotten me a twin set of babies from Willow Tree and they are supposed to represent my two that I have lost. They were sitting over on the other side of the mantel and the father and son figure was on the other side. Well, when Christian went over there he moved the two babies over to the father and son so now this is what it looks like. I guess he thought that the father should be talking to all three of them. I just love it when he shows this softer side of himself. I hardly ever see that anymore.
