Update (Slow Down)

"Sleep? Not without my mom."

The Mindful Parenting Collaboration's next topic is Sleep, and lately my family is not getting much of it. 


Just after Christmas I started a part-time job working evenings. Often only once a week, but I get home at 11:30, Koan won't go to sleep without me, and when I get home he wants to play and hang out with me. Now he's staying up till 1:30am half the time, we sleep half the day trying to catch up, he won't nap half the time, and everything feels a little nutty. 


This is not my Sleep post. I'm working on that one. It's going to be good (I think). 


But I've decided that blog deadlines are not a reasonable priority right now, so I suggested to Alicia (McCrenshaw's Newest Thoughts) that we continue the Mindful Parenting Collaboration at whatever pace we can. She also has a lot going on and agreed. So, it will come.


Today I read this poem at Peaceful Parenting (an amazing resource for gentle parenting information and inspiration), and started to cry, so I thought I'd take its advice: Slow Down Mummy.
