Don’t even bother trying to figure them out. They’re miniature versions of us, except they are certifiably crazy. And yet, we were all 2 at some point and turned out pretty normal – at least I did! Here is a day in the life of my particular 2 year old, as told by him. (He’s…
Read MoreThe Toddler and the Newborn
I have a theory that when you have a baby, it’s natural to wonder SWEET JESUS WHAT WAS I THINKING repeatedly during the labour and birth, directly after the labour and birth, the first week when you’ve had about one hour sleep in total and can’t really move without pain…in fact pretty much all the time…
