I, too, was an exceptional sleeper in another time, but the sweet smile I now have the joy of waking up to each morning energizes and motivates me more than any amount of sleep ever could.melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698231692999838673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024351871781886029.post-60031578350623676642011-01-11T13:58:57.536-05:002011-01-11T13:58:57.536-05:00"Using a gentle voice with near-toddlers requ..."Using a gentle voice with near-toddlers requires forethought and determination. Deciding to parent gently as a universal style demands mindfulness and self-education." Oh mama - what wise words. And I have learned that gentleness is more effective for building trust and love than the smacks and yells that I have witnessed in my own past.

It's true — even with all the sacrifices that children, and especially babies, demand, it's worth it, because it's so fleeting. Thank you for reminding me! I'll try to remember it next time I once again don't get to eat my meal while it's hot… :)Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024351871781886029.post-27070049723999444782011-01-11T03:39:32.664-05:002011-01-11T03:39:32.664-05:00Very moving stuff; I particularly loved "I ha...Very moving stuff; I particularly loved "I have experienced first-hand how being devastatingly sleep-deprived will not kill me, though I might wish for sweet unconsciousness. I am stronger than I ever imagined, able to survive with less." and "sing gentle touch with newborns is easy. Using a gentle voice with near-toddlers requires forethought and determination. " these spoke straight to my soul. You sound a very calm and loving mama; far more than I can hope to be.

I'm always the last person eating, changing my clothes, showering, getting ready etc etc.. Just gotta make sure my child is attended to nice and proper before I could be satisfied to focus on myself!<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />~ Jenny @ http://www.imafulltimemummy.com/I'm a full-time mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500868058094898354noreply@blogger.com
