My parents went to dinner with another couple tonight to talk about business, and Katie and I were asked to babysit 3 of their kids- one of which was a 10 month old baby boy. Throughout most of the night he was good, until it hit about 8:00. He then started crying and fussing; I could tell he was tired and needed to go to bed. He just kept crying and didn't like anything I was trying, from a warm bottle to rocking. I was getting pretty frustrated at this point, so I decided that I would go to another room and play some church music to try and calm him down in complete darkness. I prayed to Heavenly Father that He would help me to be able to get him to go to sleep, or at least help him to calm down enough to not be upset. Within a few minutes of rocking him to quiet music, he was asleep. I held him for a few minutes more to make sure he was asleep. During this time I watched him sleep. He was so peaceful and calm and beautiful. I know that Heavenly Father has a special place in his heart for babies. :) I do too.
