So, I know I've been fussing a lot about how hard it is to get Josiah to bed. I just wanted to let you know that he is starting to sleep much better. He's been asleep by 7:30 every night this week and he's taking one 2-3 hour nap every morning. He wakes up around 6:45-7:00am but he's not waking up in the middle of the night anymore at all so it's much easier on everyone. Ideally, I'd like him to take another nap in the afternoon but I think he's doing ok because he's going to bed earlier than he's used to.
It's an adjustment for me right now because I'm used to doing things later like bible study and such but everyone I've talked to and everything I've read has said to be very rigid with the bedtime so that he gets used to it. I'm hoping later it will be ok if he goes to bed a little later every now and then. I'm excluded from pretty much everything at our church right now because everything goes on later in the evening so it makes it tough to be able to connect with my church friends and family but I know Josiah needs to get on a better sleeping routine and I need it to. Long nights are not good for this family!
Marland has had a pretty long week. He has an extra class added to his schedule this week from 7pm-9pm. It makes for a really long day for him. And to make things more stressful he has been studying for his MPRE test(some part to the BAR exam) that he has to take this Saturday. I just hope I'm doing everything I can to make things easier on him here so he can focus on his school work. It's pretty tough running everything all day by myself with Josiah and now Evan but it's totally worth it. Poor Josiah misses his daddy though.
