Mommy Diaries (Can I Take a Shower?) Carmen Brown

Ok – Parents, especially my mommy’s out there, do you find it hard these days to take a shower or do anything without taking your eyes off your little one??? My little man is into sooooo much, and the world is his playground as he learns more and more... like how to climb up on everything! Sometimes it can be really hard to get anything done at this age (9 months old), so you just go with the flow. I am getting used to taking my showers and house work after he goes to bed. I know most parents put their babies to bed around 7 o’clock or so, but Tyson does not go to bed until 9 o’clock. He is a late night baby. I have tried everything to push his bedtime back, but his clock says 9. My entire family has always been nocturnal.

Anyway, he is napping twice a day and that works well. He will nap for an hour or an hour and a half. By the time I get home, I am more than happy to nap with him and do not feel guilty about it at all. I used to feel guilty, like I had to get everything done when he naps. Now, not so much…I fall asleep on demand! It’s a whole new world these days.

Oprah had a really good show yesterday about true confessions from moms. Some of the comments were so funny. One woman did not want to pull over to go to the bathroom because her two children were sleeping in the back, so she grabbed a diaper out of the diaper bag, and well, you can use your imagination! Ha-Ha!!!

As always, make it a good one. Carmen
