Parenthood is for problem-solvers.
I trust my skills will increase significantly with time and continued effort, but good heavens, what an uphill climb! Eliza's naps have become total rubbish--as in she generally doesn't sleep after 12:00 or 1:00 clear until bedtime with the exception of a few catnaps. I'm not sure why.
