survival kit for parents


There was a week recently that we couldn't believe how hard it was to parent. Trace was so unruly. He refused to nap, took forever to feed, cried screamed cried all day, was impossible to put to sleep at night and regressed to waking up 2 times in the middle of the night. Bryan and I were exhausted and at our whits end when my ubber thoughtful friend showed up on my doorstep with this adorable "Survival Kit." Her creativity made me laugh out loud, the timing was perfect and the sentiment really touched me. I could have cried. Actually, I did cry...

  8. How thoughtful!
    Hope the sleeping gets better soon! My daughter is going through a sleep regression at the moment. Although it's much better it's still not always easy! Remember it's simply a phase :)
