We've made it to three months and what a delightful journey it's been! Don't get me wrong we've had our ups and downs for sure but I think having gone through so much with my Sophia, this time around doesn't seem as urgent. I do try and be more directive with my little ones starting at three months. The progression is slow and steady and I usually start by rolling over and trying to get more sleep while they fidget in the middle of the night instead of whipping myself out of bed the moment they cry, things like that. At times it is very hard for me to break free and let go of these little mile stones. Time seems to fly by so fast and I want my children constantly under my eye and right by my side. And yet I do believe that part of raising happy and healthy children is to let them go a little bit at a time. They aren't really mine any way right? Ugh, but I don't know what I'll do when I have to start thinking about school. For now I'm just able to enjoy my little ones and do some serious snuggling!
