I agree. Wholeheartedly. I don't know ...Kayla,<br /><br />I agree. Wholeheartedly. I don't know who Dr. Ferber is/was? I know a long time ago it was Dr. Spock. I never read his books. I was just the best mom I could be to you and your brothers. I took it one day at a time. Sure, my personality dictated that I wanted everything 'perfect' for my kid(s)... but since we didn't have the internet way back then... I can only imagine how it exaggerates the stress moms are under these days. You are a lot like me and I probably (well, I know I did) passed on some OCD genes to you. <br /><br />You are a great mother! Roxas is a happy, healthy baby boy! He has not been sick one day except for a brief and mild cold! That is amazing! All he cares about is that you and his daddy are there to smile at him, play with him, feed him, hold him, love him and teach him. He doesn't care about anything except that he absolutely knows that you are there and love him! <br /><br />We never had a lot of money, and yet we always found ways to have fun with you kids. You guys never wore all the expensive clothes or had all the things you wanted; but you had us and what we could give you. Most of all, you and your brothers always knew that no matter what you guys did, we were there for you. Simple. Really. <br /><br />Pinterest is just a fun place to me. I guess I've matured (that's a nice way of saying that I've just gotten old!) enough that I don't pay attention to what is ''supposed'' to be done. Just take it all with a grain of salt. I don't believe that those moms really do all that - unless they have money to burn and a nanny, maid, driver, etc. <br /><br />Anyway, you and Kenny have been amazing parents to Roxas and I know that when your little girl, Lucy, is born, she is going to be loved and she will know, just like Roxas, that her mommy, daddy and big brother love her more than anything in this world. Of course, I do need to say - Gramma and Grampa also love your family more than you know... we are so proud of you, Kayla and Kenny! <br /><br />Tashia is right... and she will be a great mommy too, just like you Kayla! It doesn't take 'perfection' to raise a happy, loving child. It takes, love, faith and endurance! <br /><br />I love you! <br />~Mom Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624275494652608871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219380069922420503.post-14375863232860703742013-02-11T20:53:52.641-08:002013-02-11T20:53:52.641-08:00I love you *girly not fitly I love you *girly not fitly tmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958269017892689158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219380069922420503.post-37037147094649359452013-02-11T20:52:10.483-08:002013-02-11T20:52:10.483-08:00Kayla you are such an amazing mom. Honestly, I don...Kayla you are such an amazing mom. Honestly, I don't know how you do what you do... I can barely get out of bed most days because the exhaustion is so bad and you have a beautiful baby boy and a full time at school. I couldn't imagine the pressure you're under everyday. I love you fitly and I know that whether you do all those crafty and natural things or not, that your kids aren't going to care... they are going to love you with all their hearts and they are going to appreciate everything you do. <br />I completely agree with this "world" of you need to be perfect... I have NEVER even looked on pinterest because I don't want to see those kind of standards that moms feel like they need to achieve. Its bull crap... be a mom and love your children, that's all that matterstmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958269017892689158noreply@blogger.com
