- I'm all about Cloth diapering...in an apartment. Just no Ash. No!!!! Now future kids it's still on the table but not in this here apartment with the size of our washer and dryer and the 15 degrees increase every time they run. Nooooope.
- We have a bassinet, a play pin, her own nursery with a crib but where does our sweet Brave Amelia slumber??? Right up against my BACK! yup. I used to talk so much ish about co sleeping but sleep deprivation trumps the need to have my own bed. Give me sleep or give me death. Rolling over to feed was the better choice for me. I tripped and almost dropped my little one far too many times getting her out of her bassinet in the heat of the night in my stupor. Co sleeping for the win!
-Anything that she can reach that won't harm her I let her have. I used to say I'd never let my kid touch my cell phone or the remote or the strap of my purse. Now I'm like frick it! Let her have it! It makes her happy. Happy Baby happy Mom.
- My kid will have a strict bedtime. Pahaaa this one is hilarity. After trying to enforce this and rocking her for an hour straight one night as she clawed at my face I vowed never again. Now I take her cue. She has nap times which ultimately now have gotten her into a routine bedtime but it was all her doing. I am just a lowly chamber maiden anyways.
-Lets talk pacifiers....Now I talked so harshly about them before my spawn's arrival. Didn't even own any until she was 2 months and able to nurse from my breast. That's when I saw their purpose in life because round the clock feedings left my nips used and abused. The irony of it all was after buying 2 different kind of pacifiers it was revealed that my tiny tot REBUKES them. I just had to look to the heavens and proclaim...You got me good this time.
The moral of this all is NEVER SAY NEVER (s/o to my man J Biebs) when it comes to child rearing. Just buckle up and hold on because it's really a crapshoot most of the time.
