Mommy Reflections
  • Pray.  Ask God for wisdom, patience, and joy.  Put on thankfulness.
  • Let a routine serve my family.  Don't force my family to serve my routine.
  • Nap time stuff became way easier around 7 months. 
  • If Geoffrey's schedule ever changes make bed time 7pm.
  • If naps become hard try putting baby to bed earlier than I have been doing.  Sometimes the fifteen minutes makes a world of difference.
