Well, I'm preparing myself for a sleepless night. Tammy has a runny nose, can't breathe through it, and starts crying every few minutes. Half asleep she sits up, even stands up. Sometimes I can stroke her head after putting her back down, but most of the time I have to pick her up and hold her for a while before putting her back down, and starting all over again a few minutes later. It's 1 am and this has been going on for hours.

Emmy is the center of attention today once again. He finally did it! He stood up on his own in their day bed, exactly two weeks after he stood up at the pediatrician's office for the first time. And, I discovered that he has a second tooth that has broken through, right next to the first. The others don't have any yet! Maybe that explains how hard it's been with him, especially at night, and tonight it was worse again. I put dental cream on him more than once today.

Last night around 10 pm Emmy woke up, cried, didn't want to drink, but tonight it was much worse. He screamed and screamed, holding him would not comfort him, and milk he didn't want. I went into the bathroom with him, where he'd at least disturb the others, and just held and rocked him, and sang and prayed for him.
