The thing I love about birthdays is it's a great time for reflection. As I look at my little girl, I am amazed at all she's accomplished in her short two years of life. And for that matter, us, too!
Right from the start, we were challenged by breastfeeding. But we stuck to it, and worked through it.
We decided to co-sleep and had lots of nay-sayers tell us what a terrible precedent we were setting. But Kylie sleeps fantastically in her own bed, and she knows that if she calls, she can trust that we will be there to comfort her.
We thought it would be best for our family for me not to return to my traditional 9 to 5, and instead stay home to raise our daughter and pursue my career as a life coach. It was the best decision we've ever made.
Kylie is thriving, smart, funny, a talented singer & dancer, playful...
Why do I mention all this? Because I know there are parents out there who are having a tough go of it, and wondering if things will ever get better.... I promise you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. And all your efforts and love will show up in the wonderful little child you present to the world each day.
