The Thesis

Tomorrow is the big day for Tim. Way to go! Does this mean I will have to call you Master Tim now?
I love you babe.

Bedtime Songs

I had one of moments that I felt like I was actually making a difference as a mom tonight. They are rare and precious so I just wanted to share. Bedtime around our house is to often a blur of rushed commands and falling asleep on the floor, the parents that is. But tonight Naomi was in bed a little bit early so I was able to spend a little more quality time with Carter and Molly. When it was time to sing songs Carter got up on the rocking chair and got Molly to join him. She snuggled up with him as best she could and he held her and sang to her "I am a Child of God". They were probably just using it as another stall tactic but I just enjoyed it. Maybe next bed time I won't be in such a hurry, what's an extra five minuets anyway.

The Proper Way to Put Babies to Bed

I usually don't like to give a lot of parenting advice unless someone asks, but I feel as though it is necessary to give this important knowledge. After 5 years of parenting and 6 years of studying human behavior, child development, & the family, I have discovered the most effective way to put children (including babies) to bed. Follow this consistently for best results! (turn off music)
