Part of our challenge is that we are ALWAYS on the road and going somewhere. Since Camden has been born, he has been away from home more than he's been home. That is not an exaggeration.

I think we all cherish ways of doing and being that have worked best for us, but we can grow through the necessities of change. <br />Even though I have often balked at changes in schedules and the Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-81198395594958518812009-09-07T09:09:55.290-04:002009-09-07T09:09:55.290-04:00Hi Shawn,

Let me encourage you that the problem does improve over time, especially as Camden learns to sleep through the night.<br /><br />My wife and I found that the key to making that happen sooner is getting the baby on very good schedule during the day. It may seem a bit Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147132826534936857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-74166424596101226102009-09-03T19:55:54.459-04:002009-09-03T19:55:54.459-04:00Would "ADLs with God" work?

ADLs are activities of daily living - things like brushing teeth, bouncing babies, washing faces (theirs, yours, or both), dressing (both of you) etc. That era of my life is long past (and I am enjoying seeing my son live it now),but I remember praising while brushing hair, petitioning in baby talk, walking the floor as I listened for the Lord's voice, Dingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408885936544008374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-50257772846615383642009-09-02T10:37:35.537-04:002009-09-02T10:37:35.537-04:00Thanks for the words of empathy David!

I hear what you're saying about having devotions in the evening, but if I don't start my day with some good God-time, my whole day is shot. I just totally get going down the wrong path and I can never recover no matter what I try!Shawn Bracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603380405719498288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-40229884625342494752009-09-02T09:21:00.080-04:002009-09-02T09:21:00.080-04:00Funny, my wife and I had the same deal.

Not that it worked as well as morning devotions used to, but it worked better than the alternative. And yes, the crazy sleep schedule does not last forever.David Hamstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918076742603923375noreply@blogger.com
