Finnian's Journey: The R Word

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

Crittle said...: You already know I agree with you, so to switch things up a little, let me say this: A couple of those folks have a lot of effin' nerve. People like that make me want to forget I have "good home training" and knock someone slam out.

Yeah, I said it.; October 22, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Jen said...: Good for you, Lisa. You were eloquent, intelligent, and thoughtful. Some of them appreciated it. Others of them, well...they just don't get it, and they probably never will.; October 23, 2008 at 7:12 AM
