Up late after a long debate with DH, now relaxing with a quick blog post. Tomorrow starts the first week of Women Living Well's Fall Challenge - she is giving one practical and one spiritual tip each week to make our homes inviting and welcoming and loving. I can use all the help I can get! So tomorrow, I'm getting out my candle... and then working on her much-more challenging spiritual tip.
Are You Distracted and Distant or Making Your Home a Haven?
Oh, how very, very, very convicting.... definitely check out her article!
This week will have preschool, AWANA, MOMS Club, and our meeting with the state therapy people - both to transfer our care to the next department, and to set up a schedule for baby's therapy. I find the whole process rather intimidating - I'll be glad when it's over! And the bigger challenge will be finding things to do with our eldest while I am doing therapy with baby. I do NOT want to use the TV as a babysitter, especially multiple times a week. I am considering trying to hire babysitting.... but that could get pricey. I would appreciate prayer for the whole process, and that I would be able to get the scheduling and the personnel issues worked out easily and smoothly!
Have a great week, everyone! Love to all!
You may be able to engage your older son in the therapy process with the baby. Depends on what the therapy is.
ReplyDeleteI have friends who had an older young child when their baby was born, and they were able to get her involved in a lot of the stuff (the baby had a genetic defect and needed lots of therapy to learn how to crawl and then to walk and to talk).
The good thing about kids that age is that everything is a game and a learning experience, so he may even think it's fun to join in!
