Listen now
Description
Jamie and Doug took an online course to help tackle the challenges with putting their 6yr old and 3yr old to bed.  For the last 6 + months, they have struggled with catering to their kids during bedtime.  Doug had a routine with Hendrix that would take 45 minutes, and include rubbing his back, and staying in his room until he was nearly asleep.  Jamie would lay in bed with Henley and read, and then try to fall asleep to sleep stories.  Doug is very anti-letting the kids sleep in their bed.  Both Jamie and Doug were waking up multiple times a night, whether it was their daughter crying and climbing in bed with them, or their 3yr old son crying that he was scared.  The nail in the coffin for them was when their son was able to climb out of his crib and run into their bedroom multiple times a night.  Jamie and Doug discuss the parenting course they took, and the advice that some of their Frans messaged them. They have had some success so far, and have a few tricks and tips that have helped them tackle this sleep issue….and it has been working for the last few days!!!  Plus, Jamie and Doug had a friend Trisha Taylor on the show (Episode 109), who they hung out with on their RV road-trip.  Trisha was a mom, blogger, and truly an inspiration. Trisha had Osteogenesis Imperfecta which is a brittle bone disorder, and at that time, she had suffered over 600 broken bones and seven surgeries! She was 2ft. 10in tall and only weighed 60lbs and 6 years ago she defied the odds and became pregnant!  Unfortunately Trisha recently had and accident and passed away.  Jamie and Doug share a little about their interactions, and the relationship that Jamie and Trisha had built.  Rest in Peace Trisha, and thoughts and continued prayers to her son Maven!
