Amazing Changes!

The whole parenting thing is such an amazing roller coaster! Just when you think you've got things under control, here comes a new phase... The last few weeks have been a challenge with Mia's sleeping. Strange, since she was such a great sleeper ever since we brought her home. All of the sudden she is waking up every night at 3 or 4 am and crying until we bring her into our bed. Yep, that's right, we're developing wonderfully healthy habits! It's funny, you hear stories of other parent's experiences and you think that somehow you're experience will be different. I'm hear to tell you, human beings are human beings... The consistency from child to child is amazing. So many different personalities, yet such similar phases! In a strange way these challenges are good in that it bonds us even closer. Nothing like consoling a crying child when you've had no sleep to realize the depth of your love. By the way, when I refer to consoling a crying child in the middle of the night, mostly I'm referring to Mommy! Daddy wasn't designed for lack of sleep... heee heee
