On the days when the little ones sleep, smell sweet, and smile, it’s easy to say.
On the days when they wail, sweat, smell like sour milk, loose their hair, have a break-out of baby acne, and ruin two new outfits with blow-out diapers, it’s not as easy.
But, it’s always true. And can always be said … Those precious words, “You are a delight.” Continue reading
