I feel that our family has been on the go since Wyatt came into our lives, but for a long time Wyatt didn't really need a schedule. He just ate when he was hungry and slept most of the time. He also cried a lot because of his gas pains. Now we are in a new phase where this little guy needs his naps and by 6:30 he is out. If I don't get him to bed by then, he is fussing until I do lay him down! All I have to do is lay him down and he will whine for a few minutes and be out! I don't have him on a strict schedule but he is on a routine. He eats, plays, and then sleeps. Normally he stays awake about an hour and a half and sleeps the same.
Anyway, last night we went to see some very close friends. They live way down the mountain so I haven't been to see them since I was big pregnant. I dreaded the visit because they wanted us to come at 6 which meant that Wyatt would soon be fussy, they would want me to feed him and I would know that he needed to sleep, it would be loud and busy, ect. Levi and I have to keep reminding ourselves that a baby would just add to what we do and I would never let Wyatt turn into a reason for me to stop doing what we do. So I changed my attitude and took him. He was great! He played and smiled at them for about 30 minutes, got fussy and they told me to feed him but I said he was just sleepy, I laid him down and he was only woken up once by a 3 year old who went in the room and shook him. I was able to spend great time catching up and encouraging these friends who are working so hard to change the darkness to light.
So now it is time. Time to get busy doing what I came here for. Time to bring Wyatt along beside us as we go out. Time to teach Wyatt how to make a difference and change the world. Everyone tells me to start as I mean to go on concerning Wyatt's routine, sleeping, ect....I feel that we should start as we mean to go on in this area as well. It will not be easy now..I will have to be very careful concerning germs, ect....but it will be worth it.
