Returning to normal

Not gonna lie or try to sugarcoat ... it's been a tough 4 weeks since Sunshine's surgery. She did well initially and healed up physically *very* quickly. But the rough sleeping, crying, temper tantrums, anger, and all-around not-so-good mood have made for ... honestly ... an unpleasant and difficult month. On top of that, the kids have been sick off and on and Sunshine has been cutting THREE molars at the same time. I have prayed for more patience and grace in the last month than I think I ever have.

Praise God though, we are doing *so much better* ... Sunshine is finally smiling and LAUGHING again. It has been music to my ears, literally soul food, to hear her giggling and even belly laughing in the last few days.

What was wrong? Not really sure ... it's so difficult to tell because we don't have much history with our girl and she can't talk to us. I just know she has been such an unhappy camper and truthfully, very little was consoling her. It makes my heart soar to see her returning to normal though ... the last few days have been mostly smiling and laughing with very little crying. I took this video 2 nights ago after dinner (sorry, it's from my iphone) ... she thought Daddy was the funniest guy ever ... God is so good!
