It certainly was written from a place I was led to by some frustration, but there wasn’t any anger. It’s more a statement of my journey (especially over the last week, working through things with my family) and my methods. Ben calls it my manifesto, which is apt.

This message was surprising – it seems really angry to me.

i cannot even tell you how ridiculously proud i am of how amazing a momma you are. seriously. and that’s not just because i love you (that part just makes me GLAD i’m proud of you, because i’d feel guilty if i thought you were doing a bad job… but that’s my own issue). i seriously think you’re an amazing mother. and i will go to you for advice when i have my own children, not just because you’ll have been there before (and will still be), but also because i think you’re doing it RIGHT. there is no “right”, i know. but i really do think your choices have been wise, made with both head and heart. and the most amazing choice has been to let sami guide you to her own needs, while still challenging her. that’s the way to grow.

I agree with Nicole… I hope that was not directed at my encouraging you to take time for yourself… I think you’re doing great, and I only want to encourage you to do what’s right for you. I think that one thing people don’t recognize sometimes is that we’re a society of “to each their own.” Or “horses for courses” as the Brits say. Anyway, I think you’re doing wonderfully…
I can’t wait to see you on Saturday evening!! I have to get tri stuff before that. Now I need to sleep so I can get up and start all over again – swimming in the AM.
Are you using the most updated version of wordpress?

You’re doing just fine, mama. Don’t let anyone else try to tell you how to do it.. the best we can do as parents is follow our kids lead… and hope for the best. Id love for Mason to be on a schedule, but that’ll have to wait until hes older and understands “its bedtime, yo. go to sleep”
