Tuesday Tips

HOW TO FIND A FEW MINUTES OF REST WITH A NEW BABY:

TIP #1: HIRE A BABYSITTER... OR... BETTER YET, USE YOUR FIVE YEAR OLD FOR FREE!
I had Trevan hold Jonah while I went to the bathroom, and I came back and Jonah had fallen asleep. Trevan was pretending.


Trevan asks to hold Jonah how I hold him, and Jonah fell asleep here too. Trevan is good! Maybe I should raise his pay!

TIP #2: HAVE YOUR INLAWS VISIT!



John's parents came to visit and help out, and it was so nice to rest on the couch and not have to dishes, etc. etc. They were great and played with the kids and helped around the house. I think the highlight for my kids was the game playing:

Trevan and Mallary just had to take a picture with their sunglasses on...

That's great Trevan is so helpful. Kate would only hold Samuel for about 10 seconds at a time, but Sophie was a real lifesaver. Sometimes I would be so busy I would forget about her, and she would have to holler out to me that she was tired!
Of course, now he won't let anyone hold him, and Sophie is sad about that.
