Each Phase has it's challenges, just know that the bigger the child the bigger the problems so this is Training for Future phases and challenges associated with raising him to be a fine Young Man one day. Keep your sense of Humor and know that all of the sacrifices will be worth it in the end. I've been parenting for over 30 consecutive years now and I still often feel as you're feeling right now... tired, inadequate at times and wanting some "Me Time" again... oh, and perhaps being able to eat a meal uninterrupted and while it's still relatively hot... okay, even warm... *LOL* Hang in there and take Naps when he does so that you might feel a bit more rested... I've learned to Sleep on a moment's notice just to cop some Z's! *Smiles*<br /><br />Hugs and Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn...

I had colicky babies and it was rough. Never seemed happy, and me, clueless as to what to do to fix things. I'll refrain from offering you advice. No doubt you've already had plenty! lol It DOES get better, though. But it IS hard to know that in the middle of things.

They call our children our personal meditation teacher ;-) The title of the book is: Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting. <br />I don't know if you know the book, but I have now been spending some time with mindfulness in general and I benefited a lot so far from it. <br />ErikaUnsere kleine Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170321162649260153noreply@blogger.com
