Honestly...I thought this summer would be different!

I started the summer with great intentions, I have been doing better doing the school year at getting up with the kids and moving through the day. So, I mistakenly thought that with a new born I would be able to have some fabulous schedule where we all did amazing activities and learned great new skills. FUNNY!

Turns out our new little guy does not want to sleep 12 hours at night like the other 2 were at this age. He is constantly hungry, so if we get a 6 hour stretch at night it is a blessing. I have started quipping when people ask if he is sleeping through the night that "He has done x, y, or z for the last 3 nights, so we are sure to have a different pattern tonight."

He sure makes up for any lack of sleep with his pleasant disposition and smile. We are constantly finding new ways to make him laugh. Tonight we were fighting over whether he would get his fingers in his mouth or I would get the binky in. Turns out he thought it was a great game, he figured out that laughing let him get his mouth open wide enough to get a finger in around the binky. That made him laugh harder! What fun!

The kids are amazing with him. He follows M's every move, including trying to dance while watching him play "Just Dance 3." C has so much patience, and is totally saving me. I don't know how I will get anything done when she goes back to school. She is always willing to sit and talk to him or hold him while I accomplish a simple task or two.

Anyway, it is too bad I cannot type and upload picture while I nurse! This blog would have extensive entries everyday, but I guess I will just have to enjoy cuddling the precious miracle the Lord has given us instead!




Love to you all! Hope the remainder of your summer is blissful and full of perfection, Lol!

Letters to our kids

Just saw a beautiful letter from a mother to her young daughter. For some reason my phone won't let me paste the link, I will share it on facebook. It was about how the women on the bachelor act, and how it will affect her daughter if she acts that way. We must try harder to help our girls see themselves through a realistic lense, not the media lense. It breaks my heart to see girls with low self-esteem who are amazing and beautiful!
