Newborn Sleep Tips

The first few months of Dolly Jean’s life, I would always find messages in my inbox asking how we “sleep trained” her to fall asleep…

Would you believe me if I told you all the cheetah Would you believe me if I told you all the cheetah print in this photo was an accident? It was most definitely NOT planned, but I’m actually loving it 🐆😍 Anyway, remember in my last post I mentioned Dolly had a double ear infection? Well, today she fell face-first into our laundry room door & less than 10 minutes later stepped in a bunch of fireweed in our backyard 🙈😭 poor girl cannot catch a break. In other news: we are officially moving next week! 📦 The new house is only 2 minutest away, which has made me less motivated to pack... give me all your recommendations for a short move!!
This girl has been a CHAMP lately. Last week we fo This girl has been a CHAMP lately. Last week we found out she had a middle ear infection in both ears 🙁 but she’s been her happy, smiley self *most* of the time lately & I don’t give her enough credit for it. 💙 But also, for full transparency — not pictured are the hard days. The tantrums. The many “no’s” she’s been telling me lately 🙃 I don’t want to post about bad moments, because I don’t necessarily want to shed light on them, BUT I’m here to say that it’s normal to have a lot of good days, but also bad days too! It’s part of living in a broken world & learning to parent in it. Those are usually the days I’m reminded of how much we truly need Jesus.😉🤍
Do you ever have moments where you ask yourself, " Do you ever have moments where you ask yourself, "what did I do wrong? How could I have parented differently?" because your child's having a meltdown in the middle of a parking lot? Because, same. 🥴 Something I've tried to remind myself lately is that Jesus understands what it's like to be in our shoes. Now, he may not have physically birthed children, but his dad died around the time he was a teenager, so I'm guessing he had to step into the male role of the household and knows what it's like to raise and parent little sinners. And even if that's not the case, we can talk about his disciples — Jesus knows what it's like to lead and teach sinners. But you know what? He did his parenting, teaching & discipling PERFECTLY. And you know what else? God is the only perfect parent and even HIS children (aka: all of us) are rebellious because of sin. So next time you try to place your worth in your child’s behavior, remember that we're all sinners, we all need grace, and our children can't carry the weight of our parenting scorecards. 🖤
