Too tired to write

This won’t last. That’s what they said with the babies. And they were right. But the timeline differed depending on the parents, the child’s temperament, the consistency.

The rollercoaster of “sleeping through the night” one night and waking up several times the next. The changing of strategies because he was sick or the two older shared a room or so many shifting factors kept us on our toes, and informed me that sleep deprivation is indeed a valid form of torture.

I hear it again. It won’t last forever. The whining. The whimpering. The crate hate.

As long as the crate hate is shorter than 18 months – preferably much shorter than 18 months – it’s all good.

As long as my expectations of what they tell me are mostly met – it’s all good.
