Ponderings from Who?

Who am I again?
My name is Courtney Graham. I am a mother of three wonderful kids (Mackenzie 4 1/2, Mason 2 1/2, Marin 6 months). I have a background in teaching- six years teaching elementary school, a Master's in Education.
Sleep became an interest of mine when my first child was not born sleeping whenever she needed to- I had an overtired, crying baby, few parent friends, and I was tired. So, I started reading like crazy. I read anything and everything. And tried anything and everything. A lot worked or helped, some didn't. But I learned a lot about sleep, infant and child sleep needs, etc. I'm very thankful to have gone through that experience- just thinking about it makes me tired :).
I finally figured out what worked when Mackenzie was five months old- after that she was an amazing sleeper for naps and nighttime sleep. I did things much differently from the day my other two were born and sleep was a dream with both of them. Now, I have three good and easy sleepers. That isn't to say that we haven't had bumps in the road- we have- but we kept getting the right amount of sleep as a high priority in our home and worked through them all.

For the month of October, I will be focusing on Sleep related to Working Moms, Halloween, and the upcoming Time Change.
