Breaking the Streak

So last night Brennon broke his world record of sleeping for a good portion of the night by screaming me awake at 2 am. I knew it would be a long night because a) he went to bed too early and b) he napped too long. This is not a good mix for a newborn. All I know is that he will be awake for the Cowboy game and beyond until I am ready for bed. There is nothing like a terrible nights sleep. Right now we can concur that on Brennon's list of dislikes are as follows: 1. sleeping flat on his back 2. bathing 3. dog licking 4. getting his diaper changed 5. being woken up from napping 6. UT (He hates when Tech loses) Other than that he is adjusting to life outside the womb - speaking of which, he will be 3 weeks old on Tuesday. My how time flies! Pretty soon we hope he will be crawling and laughing. I personally can't wait for him to start laughing, since it makes me laugh too. That will be one of the simple pleasures of parenthood that I look forward to.
The adage is true, that we don't realize what our parents experienced until we become parents ourselves. We understand that now...it is a lot of sacrifice and patience but in essence that is part of God's higher calling for our lives. Parenting is a ministry that requires us to be on call 24/7, however it is rewarding and fulfilling to know that we have a higher purpose that extends far beyond ourselves. Speaking of, I think the baby is getting ready to start calling...
