Parenting Truths: Baby Blocking

"He's not giving you a hard time, he's having a hard time."

Pretty profound words for a parent with an infant. 

Bishop has his needy days. Sometimes it's difficult to remember that these times are so short... It won't be long until he is running with the rest of the pack. He won't always want to curl up on my chest to take his nap. He is growing so fast. 

Some days though, it can be incredibly frustrating. I'm not the most patient person in the world, but I am more patient with my children now than I used to be. But some days, when my love gets home from a long day of work, we just want some "us" time and we want to snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. We also hope that the snuggle time leads to a little more... Fun. Usually though, Bishop has other plans. That was never an issue with my other kids... They clung to me and that was perfectly fine! My ex and I were never all that close and we could easily go weeks without being intimate. That's not the case with me and Mike.

On those days when I am needed just a little bit more by my littlest guy it can be hard. Maddening, in fact. But we have come to understand that we have forever together... These needy times for Bishop are passing way faster than we would like so we choose to take advantage of that. 

We find ways to take care of the rest :)
