One Week Later

Wow! It's hard to believe we have been home with Naomi for a whole week now. How time flies when there's no sleep to be gotten! All in all the week has gone fairly well. We sleep about every other night, which quite frankly is just not enough. She has been adjusting to us slowly. It is amazing to see first hand how God designs each one of our children so uniquely. I keep thinking to myself - wow, that is so different than when we brought Josiah home. Then I have to tell myself that life will be like this for the rest of the years. They (our children) are different, always will be and oh so precious in their own ways.

Josiah has some very real issues this week that have been challenging. Besides being very upset with me that I was co-sleeping with Naomi, he also has very little tolerance for me holding her at any time. This is going to make my days difficult when Greg goes back to work. He has been getting up at 2 or 3am every other night and throwing major tantrums and refusing to sleep. Sunday night he slept 2 hours between 2am and 8am and then couldn't understand why he was tired. I sent him to school that day and he told his teacher that he was very tired and was going to sleep Monday night. He did, but Tuesday night we had the battle again. I think we (Greg and I) are winning, but only time will tell.

Yesterday during Naomi's afternoon nap we let Josiah off the hook from quiet rest and the 3 of us did a special project. Thank you Miss Tracy for sending the egg decorating kit for Josiah. It was a huge hit.
