*dulce Vera

This was several weeks ago, but something I wanted to remember. I had taken both girls along to watch my new little charge, and Edie for some unexplainable reason had 3 massive fits throughout the day. Incoherent, delirious - NOTHIng I could do but wait [if you think you have advice for me, it probably would not have worked, but thanks ;)]. Vera was such a trooper and so helpful. She even went in to order the ice cream for herself and Stella while I waited outside with screaming Edie. Another fit occurred as we walked to the train station and then waited for about 45 minutes for her to calm down - Vera just played at the playground and was so patient. Later, at home, she disappeared for a while and then brought me this sweet, creative card because she knew I'd had a hard day. She is really such a caring, thoughtful and creative little girl and things like this just make my heart swell ♥

On another note, Edie is doing really well and we haven't seen one of these tantrums since that awful day. I think it all had to do with our long vacation and the inconsistency and accumulated lack of sleep. Thankfully we are getting into a nice routine with good food and good rest. She is even currently in the easiest nap stage of her entire life!! Such a treat and a blessing for me :)
