DH and I just slept out in the livingroom one weekend and then in the
middle of the
night when he woke up we would go in and
change his
diaper, because that was usually the major issue, and then we would lay him down and give him 10 before we would enter the room and lay him back down and sooth him and then we would stay in the room for 1 - 2 minutes after he calmed down and then we would leave.
Pajamas or sleepers (5 to 7):
When dressing your baby for bed, keep in mind three things: your baby's safety, her comfort, and how easily you'll be able to
change the inevitable
middle -
of - the -
night dirty
diaper.
Feed hungry babies, wipe up spills, exercise patience, calm squabbles, clean, cook, organize, get the laundry washed and put away, doctor's appointments, school activities, baseball, football, soccer games, plan celebrations and holidays, decorate for parties and seasons, bake cookies for school events, buy and wrap presents, hugs, kisses, storytime, grocery shop, clothes shop, fix boo - boo's and owies, bring encouragement, pray, comfort hearts and wipe tears, make happy memories, play games together, care for them
when they get sick in the
middle of the
night,
change diapers, bathe the little ones so they're fresh, clean and smelling sweet, tuck them into bed with prayers at
night, get out the door to go to church with hair combed and shoes on, tell them you love them to the moon and back, sit, listen and look into their eyes and savor their sweetness... and a million other things!
