...I hear you on the Clara love. She's awesome.<br /><br />Now, on to rocking...holy shitballs, you mean we're NOT supposed to be rocking them? E gets rocked to sleep (nap and nighttime) roughly 75% of the time. Sometimes he wants to be alone and curl up with his blankie, but most of the time I rock him to sleep. Forget it, I'm not googling it. I'm pretending this is okay. We can be a Rocking Club of two people. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-14579423032156104832010-12-07T17:14:49.519-08:002010-12-07T17:14:49.519-08:00@Clara- That is a very encouraging anecdote about ...@Clara- That is a very encouraging anecdote about your son.

It's probably important that we learn to acknowledge that so we're not constantly beating ourselves up. <br /><br />And, I don't know if that's tacky or not in polite society, but it seems totally reasonable to me to ask for something your kids needs. My MIL usually gives us a spending limit, and we pick out our own gifts, anyway. I just don't want to spend the money for the initiation fee if we aren't going to be able to do it somewhat regularly. Then again it's a lifetime membership, so it might be worth it. Gymboree's is cheaper, so maybe we'll do that.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314404326604784926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-64981122365929620142010-12-07T16:52:32.793-08:002010-12-07T16:52:32.793-08:00Thanks for the shout out - I am tickled to be some...Thanks for the shout out - I am tickled to be someone's Zen Master. Although there are things about which I am not so Zen, hopefully those won't coincide with yours so I won't let you down.<br /><br />It is really hard to let go of those self-inflicted (mostly) expectations. My 1st kid loved storytime (and ours is just drop-in..I would never have gotten organized for a pre-registered one!) but the second just wants to run away ...so we don't do that anymore. You sound like you're coming to a good place where as Moxie says, "I am the best parent for my child."<br /><br />Also, my kid did that thing at almost 2 years old. It lasted about 3 weeks I think. & old habits came back afterward, even though we resorted to rocking him/walking him/driving him to sleep.clarahttp://torturedpotato.com/cheeseblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-91957959971396960022010-12-07T16:37:44.799-08:002010-12-07T16:37:44.799-08:00Oops, I also meant to add:

I'm actually thinking of doing that with the family that keeps asking what they should get Jackson (cuz he needs another damn toy?)Gingerhttp://rambleramble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-60444536314978523852010-12-07T16:08:00.429-08:002010-12-07T16:08:00.429-08:00Lol @ the recommendation for your friends post.

Because I can't be the mom who takes my kid to storytime, or mommy groups, or about 95% of the kids events out there, since they all fall between 9-5 M-F. <br />But you're right, the kids don't know what we think they're missing. Jackson doesn't care that we don't go to story time, he just cares that I read to him (over and over and over). It's actually kind of awesome when you think about it, that they just want us, even if we don't think it's enough.Gingerhttp://rambleramble.comnoreply@blogger.com
