Further thoughts





Parenting two toddlers is challenging in an of itself. But, when one of the toddlers is a new addition, coming with her own complete personality, things get a little crazy. Tam has been waking every night screaming in a way only she can scream. Eventually, Tam will share a room with Anh, but until we can quiet this screaming a bit, we have been sleeping with her in our bed. I swear, the scream could wake the dead. Until last night, she would wake up and then thrash around not letting us get close to her. For the first time last night, she let me comfort her during her nighttime scream. I feel like it was a little miracle and a step forward.

I hope Tam's nights get better.

I love the picture of the kids in the tub! How cute! :-)

Well things are moving in the right direction-sorry it's been rough going. A good nite's sleep would do you well!

Can't wait to meet Tam-we need to figure out our weekends soon.
