Eating and Sleeping

I think I feel the best when I can meet my children's needs. There are so many things I have to do in a day and the most important one is that I care for and love my children. It doesn't always mean that I'll be able to please them but I do my best to help them be the best person they can be. From the time Hannah was born I always thought about eating and sleeping because Hannah wasn't the best sleeper but she loved to exist on the breast which caused me great pain the entire time she breastfed. Once Hannah was sleep trained, it still took time to get her where she is today. Today sleep is really not an issue Hannah now looks forward to going to sleep and will often ask to go to sleep when she needs time by herself or when she is sleepy. However eating can and is still and issue. Hannah doesn't do well when she is hungry. But in the last month we've really not had too many problems. She has wanted to eat and hasn't gotten to the I'm too hungry to eat stage much at all. Since I weaned her from breastfeeding I always had to be prepared with adequate snacks because the milk was all gone. In the beginning she would eat anything. And she still does a good job at trying everything but as she got closer to three years old she stopped loving all food and started only liking kid food. It's been tough to get a vegetable into her. I try not to worry too much about how she eats and just encourage her to try everything. I guess feel encouraged about Hannah regulating her own needs better. It has been a long long road for us.
