Love dare day 3

Day 3 is along with restraining negative thoughts and words, buy your spouse something that says " I was thinking about you".

Hum... funny thing. Buying gifts is something that comes very naturally for me. Over time I also have discovered that Josianne's love language is not gifts, but quality time, complements, tasks anything but gifts. So today was a bit tricky for me. I had the idea of buying Josianne some flowers or something like that, but then decided to offer Josianne something a little more special for her and a lot more close to her needs right now.

So I offered Josianne the gift of sleep. The flipside of this gift is that I knew that at first she would be really upset, but after a couple of hours, she would learn to appreciate the power of such a gift. For those how don't understand, I offered commercial milk to our baby Noah, which is harder to digest and allows the baby to sleep longer. It works like a charm. It gave Josianne 6 hours of long awaited sleep. However, she was upset for giving something less natural to our baby.

So I have mixed emotions on this one. I believe this gift was worth a lot more than anything I could have given her and she was upset for a while. HUmmm, was this dare completed? Well if you ask her if she appreciated the gift, she would say yes. So I think at the end of the day, I offered her something that said, I was thinking about you.
