It may be two o’clock in the morning, but I am none-the-less proud to announce I have pounded out a What I Believe article on co-sleeping and the cry-it-out Thing.
It’s been years, I know, so let me refresh you on just what I’m referring to when I say, “What I Believe.”
Once upon a time, I had… well… TIME. I could think things through clearly, and even had the time and where-with-all to write them down in an understandable manner. I enjoyed forcing myself to come up with concrete beliefs by which I live. And I posted them here. On www.thenaturalmommy.com. (In case you forgot where you were.) Most of my topics are parent-related, yes, but that’s just because parenting is like 99.8% of what I am and what I think about.
AnyWHOO. I invite you to force yourself to come up with concrete beliefs by which you live. And we’ll have a little What I Believe carnival here on Tuesday. I know some people have given up asking me, but they USED to ask me when I would be writing another WIB post because they had ideas and THE TIME needed to write them down. Well, non-parents (That’s a dig. Yep, it is.) your time has come! And parents… put in a movie for the kids and spend some time pounding our your own beliefs. Like on how kids shouldn’t watch movies.
Or whatever.
Can’t wait to learn more about you!
This Tuesday!
On What I Believe!
And if this post doesn’t make sense it’s because I should have gone to bed two hours ago!
I sure hope the WIB post I just finished makes more sense than this one!
I didn’t ask when the next WIB was because I believed and knew in my heart when you had time, you would do it. 🙂
I am SO ready for WIB Tuesday! Other Mommies beware….
I have a question about this and really really need your help!! I have a 22 month old son that sleeps with us, and am expecting second baby in Oct. My question is how do you do the co slepping thing with a toddler AND a baby? Also, Jackson has started waking up at night, but not for anything else than to whine and fuss and then go back to sleep. I’m stumped on what to do? Should I try to get him in a toddler bed (which didn’t work before?) before the new baby gets here? I’m desperate! 🙂 Thanks so much!
Yay, I have been waiting, co-sleeping is on my mind lately too…We’ve done it when each of our 3 were babies and I’d like to share the benefits seen in the kids as they get older.
I’m glad to hear you plan on talking about co-sleeping just so I can hear why you think it’s such a good idea. We did not co-sleep for two distinct reasons: My husband is a heavy sleeper and has rolled over on top of me! (imagine what he could do to a baby) and I am an insomniac. We left our son’s bassinet in the room with us until he started sleeping through the night at about six months old. As for crying it out, I have no idea what you mean by that, so I will look forward to hearing about that.
