Sidney and I took this delicious baby to the All Abilities Park in Spanish Fork today. Sidney met me there with Jace in tow. I walked into the park and spotted them a little ways in on the swingset, swinging together. Smiling and happily enjoying the late summer sun. He was so cute to watch explore. He swung on the swings and played with the musical instruments and had a blast in the splash pad area. He's growing so quickly and learning so much. He's getting so smart and learning to do things on his own. I love watching him discover. I also love watching Sidney interact with him. He has been a blessing to our whole family. I'm so grateful that Jens and Alexandra share so much of him with her. She and Jack have had a part of their broken hearts comforted by him. Their greatest desire is to have a baby of their own and for some unseen reason, they keep miscarrying. She has no words left. Salty tears have streamed down her beautiful face until she has no tears left. Even today, as Sidney is in the midst of another loss, an IVF treatment of two of her baby boy embryos that didn't take, she still tenderly and happily cared for and played with Jace. All the while, cramping and bleeding.
And then he would smile at her.
And she would smile back.
And then he would reach for her, and her heart would get a little bit of love.
