Okay so I was determined to write everyday! Every...single...day. A post about something, anything which has lead me to this post. Nothing extraordinary happened today but the two other posts I wanted to post are still sitting happily in my draft box. See in our house we go to bed at 8. Why you ask? Because we're old! There I said it. Not really I mean don't get me wrong I'm tired at 8 so going to bed is not big deal for me. We have a family bed. If you don't have kids or do and don't know what this is it means that our child sleeps with us. I will pause for you to gasp and shake your finger into the screen as you say shame shame. But we do. And I will not, let me repeat, WILL NOT apologize for it or feel bad or anything negative because we love it. It hasn't always been this way just for the second half of her life which has been about 5 months. She blissfully slept in her room until she went to spend the night with her grandparents and we became lazy. It is in fact our fault. See she needs to be rocked every time she wakes up (also our fault, she has no idea how to self soothe) which is about 25 times a night, but in bed with us we don't have to wake up or get up. When she whimpers we can place the paci back in her mouth in our sleep. It's second nature and we haven't slept better. So with that said I have nothing to blog about but at the same time I have a thousand things to blog about. My next post however will be about raising my kind of child.
So for tonight I will leave you with this thought:
"To have an exceptional child you must be willing to have an exceptional child." Elaine N. Aron
Today I am a wife, mother, and completely blank:)
Keep chasing those fireflies!
