He is a very content baby and loves, loves, loves to cuddle and be swaddled up to you. His favorite has to be tummy time on my chest or shoulder! John looks so beautiful and happy! I could just pinch his baby cheeks. :) That's my favorite part about my boy. I love having him on my chest and feeling his soft hair and baby skin on my chin or putting my cheek on his head. I'm curious to see how my next baby would be compared to his alert and calm attitude. If it is anything like my sister and I was we were night and day! I was independent and so happy as a baby. My sister wanted no one but my mother and cried all the time according to my mother. I've never heard of this book. I'll definitely have to check it out now!

A year later on the Eve of Divine Mercy Sunday in 2006, I was getting confirmed. I really believe that he was an immediate intercessor for young people, especially those who really needed help and mercy (like myself). I didn't realize until this year that he died on the same "liturgical day" as I was confirmed one year later.

My husband is an introverted melancholic choleric and I am an ambivert (it's a thing!) choleric melancholic and we have TWO sanguine cholerics. TWO. I actually feel sorry for them sometimes because my others all have some version of melancholic in them. One of the most important things as a parent is to try and really appreciate the gifts that these children bring with their "opposite" personalities.

But I'd take it a step further and say if it IS really about discrimination, that's okay! Private businesses/individuals ought to have a right to discriminate.
