I think of the word "victorious" often in parenting. Although it sounds like overkill, when in the throws of parenting challenges, (and when are we not?) breakthroughs feel nothing short of victorious.
We had a follow up on with the pediatrician regarding Hudson's cholesterol, and it's down 28 points in 3 weeks!!! It is still above the recommended 169, but I am so proud that we made some changes and it helped!
Earlier this week I mentioned Sadie's sleeping woes (or more accurately, our sleeping woes with Sadie!). After Ted spent the entire night with Sadie and she still only slept about 7 hours, we were more than ready to commit to Cry It Out. Thursday night she cried for 45 minutes, and not the 'eh I'm tired' cry, more like 'I'm mad as hell' cry! She's determined. Friday night it was a mere 10 minutes! Both nights she slept the entire night! We regained hours of our life and she even took a nap in her crib just now! Life is good!
Our Friday night; leftovers during a movie picnic, perfect!
Happy weekend everyone!
