I Think I Can!

So.....Susanne went to bed a lot later than she had planned. She got sucked into a few shows on TV. Usually she went to bed after Paxton's NG feeding at midnight, but not last night.

When Paxton stirred around this morning, Susanne greeted him with a great big smile. She was thankful that he was still sleepy because so was she. She decided to snuggle with him in her bed and they both fell asleep for another hour. These were definitely the moments that she would always remember.

Susanne decided to get creative this morning and make homemade biscuits with sausage. Even though she had to use almond milk, they still tasted good. She loved breakfast food. It was something she often looked forward to. The only thing that would make this meal better would be to have her husband there to share it with.

Scott stayed in Pennsylvania this weekend to try to work more on his dissertation. He was hoping to have it completely finished and approved by the end of the month. This was going to be a little bit of a challenge. He was having a difficult time focusing because he was so close to being done. He was too excited to think of anything other than coming home for good. He only had four weeks to go.

Susanne worked with Paxton periodically throughout the day on therapy. He was doing so well that she tried to syringe feed him small amounts of breast milk. He cautiously accepted a few drops and then he had had enough.

Susanne read him a variety of books today. He loved books that had different textures and colors. He always seemed so fascinated with the pictures on each page. One of the books she read him was "The Little Engine That Could". This story reminded Susanne of the power of positive thinking. She hoped that Paxton would relate to this story as he continued on throughout his life. She wished that he would always believe in himself and never underestimate what he was capable of accomplishing. It was so important that Paxton continued to push through the challenges that lay ahead of him no matter what. From her experience, Susannae knew that people might try to put him down and place a sense of doubt in his head, but if he put his mind to it and had a little faith he could do anything. Anything was possible, if he would be willing to work for it.
