Abigail's comfort level is improving each day. She will now get down from my lap to explore a bit and play in short increments. We swim most afternoons, and she absolutely loves the water. When we visit the hotel playground, she keeps up just fine with the big kids. She still hasn't warmed up to Adam all the way, but he consistently works on breaking down her walls with silliness and play, and I have a feeling they will be good friends before too long.
The nights, though, are tough. Abigail's world has been turned upside down, and the grief and sadness really come out at bedtime. She wakes up several times a night inconsolable. If she sleeps, she wants to be touching me at all times or better yet, sleeping on top of me. Needless to say, no one is rested right now. Our oldest son, Levi, had these same struggles at first so we know it 's part of the process and to be expected. This too shall pass, but for now, we are just so sleepy....
