Sleep Training and Teething

======================

Yesterday’s issue #0619 Sleep training was about my wife Asia and I sleep training

our son Zayan Zayd. The issue focused more on the parallelism between us as parents

with our children and God’s relationship with us as humans.

An interesting thing happened last night: we had to break our sleep training routine.

Asia and I just came back from vacation and toward the latter half of it, Zayan’s two upper

teeth were painfully starting to come out. We had told ourselves when we come back

from vacation we are going to try to get him on a more routine schedule with sleep

training so Zayan can be more established in his sleep.

Well, we were getting ready for him to sleep so we went through his routine

of feeding him, Asia singing him a lullaby, and taking him up to his room. Everything

was the same, but the moment we put him down, Zayan started wailing. It wasn’t

a normal cry, but more that he was in need of comfort because he was hurting.

Asia went to pick him up and started comforted him. We tried putting him down

again. Once more, it was the same pained cry that broke our hearts as parents

into a million little pieces. Asia picked him up again, and we had a talk. We knew

that as much as we wanted to continue his sleep routine, right now he needed

to be comforted and in our arms.

We decided to let Zayan sleep with us and for the most part he was much more

in ease than by himself. The continued parallelism from the previous issue hit once more.

The previous issue focused more on us as humans not getting immediate comfort from God

when we are in pain, and in the long term that helps with our growth. Well, this particular

instance with Zayan proved to me that there are instances when we do feel the power of God’s grace

much more immediate. There are times when we really do need comfort and help. God will send that

in many forms: through friends, our children, spouse, random acts, etc.

Although there are many instances where we have to be patient and stick through whatever

challenge or obstacle is before us, there are also many times when we will get immediate comfort

and support when we ask of it.
