My parents are going to be here for part of this coming weekend - they're making a brief stopover on their way to a week in the mountains. I've decided to use them to the maximum advantage - I'm going to lock myself in my room and get work done. Figure out my finances, get the last of my bills automated, get charts done...I'll be exhausted when I'm done, but it will be worth it. Right now I feel like a slacker in just about every area except loving and parenting my kids. That I'm working hard at.
Now if only I could figure out a way to get better sleep. Well, I know the way, and that's to get Zachary to sleep in his own bed and give up on the cosleeping, but he's teething right now, so it's definitely not the right time. I loved cosleeping with Finn, and I slept so well when he was this age. I love cosleeping with Zachary, too, but he's a lot more restless, and I just don't sleep well. Once we're over the current round of teething, I think I'm going to start by transitioning him to the pack and play in my room. At least that's my plan right now.
Speaking of sleep, I desperately need to go to bed, so here's today's pictures. Tomorrow night my plan is to catch up on blog reading. I'm very behind and missing reading everyone's updates (like I said, I'm a slacker).

Don't forget to get some rest while you have your parents around. I bet that would help a lot at getting caught up also. Love see pictures of the boys.
ReplyDeleteI think you've got your priorities right. Working hard at parenting right now is important because it can't wait...the other stuff, though it doesn't always seem so, can wait for the most part. I bet it'll feel awesome to get some of that stuff sorted out though!!
ReplyDeleteso cute! he looks so small in his new car seat! i can't believe he's already outgrown his infant seat!
ReplyDeleteLove those chubby arms. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how kids are so different - what works well with one might not work at all with another. I think with a second child, it's tempting to just do whatever worked with the first. But I hope you're able to do whatever you need to do to get more sleep!
ReplyDeleteWait, how did Zachary get so big?! Hope you have a great (and productive) weekend!
