Britt is really embracing being 3 and already talks about how she's "almost 4." She is a girl who is in a rush to grow up and I wish she'd SLOW DOWN!!! I feel like sometimes Britt gets a little lost in the shuffle, which is a common thing with middle children. It's easy to one minute think she's "a baby" and the next look at her and think she is a "big girl." I'm trying to be a lot more intentional with my parenting with Britt! This month I really started having her contribute more to the household. We expect Kye to pitch in but this is one of those areas that we often think "Britt is too little." Um, She's 3. She can help! And she LOVES helping and is a GREAT helper too! Girl LOVES to bake! On the days that Britt doesn't have school she really, really loves to just sit in her bed and read. By herself and also with me! I have to limit the amount of books we will read or I can get sucked into sitting ...
Claire from My Devising is the guest blogger today and she's writing about how Babywise changed when adding a second child. I'm featured over at Chronicles of a Babywise Mom and my post is about accepting and loving the post-baby body! When I had Duke back in 2011, I had no idea what I was doing. How many times am I supposed to feed this baby anyway? Can he just sleep in the bouncer forever? I was clueless. I was also frustrated. But when I started Babywise at 3 weeks old, things began to fall into place. No, life wasn't perfect and the postpartum depression was still around, but there was a rhythm to my day and I was in desperate need of that. Duke was a textbook Babywise baby so I knew I'd use the same methods on Nova when she arrived. So far, Nova and Duke have been very different. She came a million years (okay, 13 days) late while he came right on his due date . She's been formu...
Kye's last month as a 5 year old! This post is all about the random things he was up to during this month! I keep reading that kids at a certain age stop wanting to do chores and be helpful. I'm not sure when that age will come? I am interested to see if it ever does with Kye. I truly think he is just a person with a servant heart. He LOVES helping and acts of service is FOR SURE his love language! I am really comfortable with him doing just about any chore in our home and he loves the responsibility...and I love the help! This month Kye and I had to prepare food for his Kenya project. This experience was a big moment for Kye for a couple reasons. The first? He didn't need a stool to help me!!! He told me he could reach and I totally didn't believe him at first...but yup, he can. The second "big moment" was when I told him he could have a glass of sweet tea for the first time ever! Yes. He was a couple weeks away from turning 6 a...
