The other day Kent and I went to see the newest addition to the family. His Brothers wife just had a brand new baby girl. While we were down there they kept telling us that in about 3 or so months Mya will be getting fun. "That would put her at 8mo." I said what do you mean and my sister in-law says well there like having a brick wall around until they can start to understand things and knowing what they need and want. So as I sat holding my new 2.5week old niece looking up at me with her big beautiful eyes I asked my sister in-law.... So, you dont talk to them or what?" She said no I cant, it is so hard for me to talk to them when they are young. I told her that I was reading stories to Mya when she was only a few weeks old and Every day I tell her what her daddy is doing at work and what her and her mommy are going to do today. Every time I get Mya out of her crib from a good nights sleep or nap I ask her if she had good dreams and when she replies back with a smile from heaven or a ga ga goo goo I say Oh really tell me more about your dream. I talk with Mya all day long. I look at her and the song You are my sunshine comes to mind. I was home all day with Grey Sky's and now she has turned them to colorful happy skys. My sister in-law was surprised that I can hold a conversation of some sort with Mya and I cant imagine going a hour without talking to her. I do admit there were days when she slept all day long that I would realize I had not said anything to her all day but she was asleep for the most part. Part of me feels so bad for my sister in-law and for her kids. Maybe that is why her 2nd is the same age as Laceys boy Coleman and she doesn't even talk yet. She will point and say aaaaa. That is it! Oh and she calls her mom and dad mammy. I think That Lacey gave me some of the best advice when she was at my home after Mya was born. Lacey told Kent and I to talk Mya though everything cuz it would sooth her. Lacey would show me how by talking Mya through putting on her clothes "okay honey we are going to put your arm in the sleeve now Oh, see thats not so bad huh baby Mya, now hand me the other one.... and so on and so on with each diaper change and spit up whipping I talked to her about everything I would do throughout my day. Thank you lacey for that wonderful advice. Mya talkes back in her little way all day and I love it. Mya is in no way a brick wall to me. In fact I dont think I have ever loved something or someone this much in my life. I remember Kent telling me that same thing after she was born... He said "honey I dont think I have every loved someone this much before." Part of me was upset because that meant not even me but I told him the other night as we went to bed that I was holding Mya and just looking down at her sweet face and started crying. I told kent I understand what he meant by what he said after she was born. She is my joy and light she is my sunshine and love. I hope like in her blessing that she will be my friend and we can turn to each other in our times of need. I love Mya and hope those with kids reading this feel the same about their child or children. They are sent from heaven from our heavenly father on loan to us for a short time. Lets talk and play and have fun with them every day we get. 
Well Lawson I guess we lost! For all of you that may not know John Lawson after a lot of hard work converted me over to the BYU side of things when I was in High School. "Dont give yourself too much credit John, I did just about anything you or your wife said.... AKA PROM!" John always said he would have to sit down with my husband to be and make sure he was good for me............ HELLO, did you forget to ask if he was as Y fan? Thanks! Yes I do have to say that the rose colored glasses did give him a red tone to his skin but I didnt think much about it. Well its too late now! Kent has never been to a Football game before. Not even a high school game so we figured we best spend the big bucks and see the best game of the year. I was all dressed in blue and Kent wanted RED so we went to Wall*Mart to get Kent some UofU stuff. While there he said that he would pay me if I wore RED instead of BLUE. I said okay for $200.00 his answer was UM NO! SO after about 30 min we agreed that I would wear red for $120.00! DEAL!!! But see I was the smart one cuz I didnt pick a U of U sweater or shirt I went and got a grey T with a cute red jacket that I would have bought anyway! Oh and did I mention he didnt pay me enough to cheer for the U so the fans sitting around us were a bit confused when I was going for BYU and all dressed in RED. There were some Y fans behind us that we got talking to and I told them I was paid off to wear red. So when I asked a kid to take our picture the Y fan we had been talking to put his hat on me just in time for the pic. Everyone around us was laughing! Kent had a blast and Im not sure what he liked better... BOOING at every BYU fan that walked past while we were tailgating...... having his team win the game..... OR, watching the fans rush the field before the game was over! I think my favorite part was when BYU ran 70 yards on the 2nd play of the game my mom sent us a picture text of Baby Mya with blue BYU on her forehead. Kent said we are going to have to find a new babysitter. :) Kent said he is getting season tickets next year and so you all may see me sporting the red look on game day but Im still a BYU fan...
