It comes as no shock to some, but how hard parenting 2 would be shocked me. Pinkie and I have a strong, fun, creative and emotional relationship. I kinda thought we were rock solid for the delivery of this baby. I mean with a therapist for a dad and a SpEd teacher for a mom,
aren't we ahead of the game a tad?
Any new baby throws a hitch in your giddy up, so at some point you realize I've got to do more with my day than diapers, laundry and goldfish. I will go back to teaching at the end of August and realized it was time to figure out how to be Mommy and Ashley again.
The duck pond at the library is a favorite for us both. We've also rented every book that has anything to do with being a big sister. All 4 of us went to the beach for the weekend and fast approaching is our amazing trip to Disneyland! Luckily, Little J is so easy to please.
Since the arrival of Little J, bedtime has been a challenge. I totally understand the 3 year old logic- 'I don't want to sleep in my room alone because everyone is in your bedroom.' She's right- we are all together and she's left out. So we've had a few nights of 4 in our bed, a few of her on the floor and many of Daddy in the bunk bed. I've been desperately wanting to get back to sewing and found a project. I made Pinkie a new blanket/quilt to help with bedtime. She's thrilled about it but we'll see if it helps with bedtime.
I love it too. It felt really good to sew and then give her a gift for a change instead of baby.
*** and she's given me 3 time outs as I wrote this***
