I took baby number two to toddler no. one's daycare this week to help him make an easter hat. Baby no two was plonked on the ground, handed a couple of toys and left to her own devices.

I am certainly much more relaxed with no two. <br />it is nice to hear a grandparent being like that, the ones on my husband side are way more neurotic than I am.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975237406701796055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1713416807603300681.post-5296081952406759962011-04-15T16:09:56.345-07:002011-04-15T16:09:56.345-07:00I found this really interesting.
