I wanted to share what is has really been like commencing this new chapter of our lives. It’s been great but also gruelling and like many things in life, you can prepare as best you can but nothing beats stepping up and doing. This is a list of what has caught me off guard or has been a bigger deal than expected.
1 – Establishing A Bedtime Routine Yes, I know this is what you must have read absolutely everywhere but in our family we’re really lacking in this area! Our kids co-sleep, not because that’s what we set out to do, it’s just the way it happened and it’s stayed that way.
If little ones came with a manual life would be so much easier and the whirling of the mind going ‘What is going on right now?!’ would be quiet. Teething is another special gem of child rearing that will keep you on your toes.
