Routine

My type-A personality is so much more comfortable now that Grant and I have developed a routine! I surprised myself by not instantly getting Grant on a a strict Baby Wise schedule. Instead, I allowed him to wake up when he wanted each morning and then we began a three hour feeding schedule from there. This allowed me to get a little extra sleep in the morning, which was fantastic, but didn't give me any idea what my days had in store for me.

So, after getting over the fact that I would have to start getting up each morning at the same hour, and keeping in mind that children thrive on routine (and so do I), I decided to put Baby Wise into practice. Again, I am still probably not as strict as I thought I might be, but life is running smoothly. Grant and I are enjoying our days at the gym and the pool. He is a terrific napper and sleeps great at night. I couldn't ask for a better baby! Now, I can only hope that whenever we choose to have baby #2, we will be so lucky!
