HONESTY: The other evening on the way home from dropping Elise off at ballet, Mason was trying to convince Sammy that Sammy really did like the music we were listening to. Sammy vehemently denied it, and, as he has been doing lately (due to lack of naps...bad mommy), burst into tears and started yelling. When the tirade slowed down Mason tried again, which sent Sambo into another round of tears. Then Mason asked, "Why are you so sad, Sammy?" To which Sammy replied, "I DON'T KNOW!!!" and continued crying.
FAITH: Last night Elise's left ear was killing her. She didn't get much sleep...neither did I. The ibuprofen wore off very quickly (poor thing!), the garlic drops and heat pad weren't working...she moaned and cried out until about 4am, when my sweet girl came in and asked Stephen to give her a priesthood blessing. Of course he agreed, and after putting on some church clothes he gave her a blessing. She was finally able to sleep, and Stephen let both of us sleep in until 9am or so. She woke up happy and refreshed and pain-free. And now she's on antibiotics, so should be well to dance on Friday!

Ah, little Sammy--it must be fun to be Mason's little brother, but it's probably not always easy! Hope Elise gets all better for her dance recital--wish I were there...I was just reading today that we should exercise more faith and call for the Elders before we call for the doctor--and a little child shall lead them!
I LOVE that second story. How tender and sweet. Your little family is adorable.
