I'm impressed that not only were you able to get everything done... but by 2pm! That is awesome!<br /><br />And to the anonymous commentor, I felt the way you do in the beginning and tried to "train" my son from the time he was just a few days old... to no avail. That boy just wanted to be held, no two ways about it, until he was two months old. Now, four months later, he loves to lay on the floor, in his crib, on his stomach, on his back... and he isn't spoiled at all. In fact, in retrospect, I believe God purposely gave me a baby that needed to be held because otherwise I would have put him down too often in order to keep up on my to-do list--and missed out on those precious, fleeting days of brand new, teeny baby snuggling.Justin and Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941100810341420892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712476185050900324.post-50646315006699546912009-07-08T23:19:48.769-04:002009-07-08T23:19:48.769-04:00If that's how you look tired...

I relish the memories of that sweet time.<br /><br />My children are not demanding or fussy or too attached. In fact they are really independent, happy, and well disciplined.
