Shaoey’s first year with us had been filled with broken sleep and screams from night terrors. So the boys really wanted a low-maintenance, happier sister who would have no problems sleeping through the night, and they decided it would be good to pray fervently for a chilled-out Chinese baby.(After a SARS-influenced very short notice flight to China to collect her newest daughter…)
I finally got up the nerve to call home. Caleb and Will got on the phone. “Mom, we’ve been praying so hard,” Caleb said. “Is Stevey Joy all calm and chilled out?”
“Well,” I said, “uh . . .”
Caleb could hear Stevey Joy screaming bloody murder in the background. “Is that her I hear?” he asked.
“Well, she’s so sick—” I started.
“Oh, no!” Caleb moaned. “But Mom, we prayed!”
