Just a quick comment on the cause of your fatigue.....I can relate!! When our 4th was 2 and a half, she started climbing out of her crib in the middle of the night and running around the house, turning all the lights on, and playing. No amount of discipline would convince her to stay in bed.... so we bought a "Crib tent" from babies r us. It was a godsend, and she seemed relieved in a way to have the boundary there, and content to sleep under her tent. (Although, at first, I felt really weird, zipping her in at night...) She will be 4 in August and sleeps in her own big girl bed and does just fine. Just thought I'd share what really saved our sanity back then!

Congratulations on your daughter's confirmation, and thank you for sharing the amazing homily on vocations.....a great reminder!

Congrats to your daughter! And what great news about her desrie to become a Carmelite. I'm sure you're proud.

And yes, I too relate to the hyper tot. Ds sleeps w/ us because he learned long ago how to get out of his crib and playpen. He's only 2! I hate that he can open closed doors now w/ ease....ahhh. Parenting. The never-ending job.

Hang in there.
