when they were ready and by 2 actually they were. My youngest didn't have "real" solid food until she was 1 and that was really only because she took pizza out of my hand and began to eat. Literally - I guess she really wanted that pizza:)
They co-slept in the bed with us for about a year and then slept next to us and didn't move out
of our room until they decided. My eldest decide one night when she was 3 that she wanted to sleep in her own room in her own bed and just did it .. No looking back :(
I never carried them around in a car seat - never - unless it was from the house to the car or vise versa. They were sling carried for YEARS - only until they got too heavy and until then the stroller was used more for our "stuff". I even home school!
But ever since I've gone back to work part time at a library last year my 6 year old has been having serious
separation issues. Luckily though - not with my husband. Won't go play at friends houses with out me there, won't spend the night at Grandmas (which she used to do ) .
But yesterday I helped a friend fix some electric fencing in the middle of a horse pasture and since we didn't want J coming into the pasture/herd we left her at the fence. Mind you she could see us, talk to us and hear us, but that didn't stop her from standing crying at the fence for the 20 minutes it took us to put up the fence! She followed me around for the entire 7 hours we were there.. sitting on boxes while I cleaned stalls, calling me constantly if I walked out of her site for an instance.. you know - to go to the bathroom...
Even yesterday morning she was waiting outside the bathroom for me after I got out of the shower.. I know that this just a phase and that it too shall pass but has anyone else had these issues for a 6 year old?! I'm trying very hard to be patient - but my lovely girl - momma has got to have some momma time ! :) So in the weee hours of the morning I'm enjoying my momma time here starting my blogging career :) with coffee. and I will take many deep breaths throughout the day and hand out many hugs. Thanks for letting me vent a bit...
On a lighter note - this the skirt I just added to my etsy shoppe..CirclesandDotts... right now this is the only thing I have but I hope to have more soon - right after I finish our Renaissance outfits :)
It's roughly a size 5/6.. J wears a size 5 pants and this skirt has elastic in the waist.
It's great for twirling and J has a least 3 others she HAS to wear when she dances. :)
Enjoy the day!
