I think I'm a lot like you: ...I love your blog. I think I'm a lot like you: I consider myself. Half in love (strong like?), half in hate with mommyhood. I didn't love the baby stage but am - thankfully, as communication and mobility increase - at least more enjoying the toddler stage. I do lots of the same "bad mommy" moves, but also think I'm actually a pretty good mom (better, even, than a lot of "good mommies" in some arenas). And I am just really grateful that you are honest about your experiences and willing to put it out there for those of us who are not super-maternal/sunshine-blower/so-in-love-with-it-all-aint-it-magical mommies. Thanks. Happy continued blogging. Good luck with the sleep issues!!JimmerDeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378775078949989048.post-27090483337952746622011-02-08T11:44:15.767-06:002011-02-08T11:44:15.767-06:00Uggg! Yes!

I know it is good for their understanding of the world, vocabulary, background knowledge, etc. So I applaud you for making the effort! lol! Asher loves being the helper and approves each item before throwing it behind him into the cart. We also have a deal that he can play with a toy while we shop as long as we leave it on a shelf when it's time to go. That's usually when I hand him a snack to distract him too. Everyday is different, though, but they are getting easier! Loved this post!!!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674473839113861197noreply@blogger.com
