I don't have experience in this area yet, but I think it's ever a "growth opportunity" and not a rehash of the past.<BR/><BR/>But what do I know? [smile]<BR/><BR/>Be blessed today!

Learning seems to happen if you're putting any thought into it at all. And to back off a bit and see the fruit of just living and learning... well, it's just a beautiful thing!<BR/><BR/>BennyBennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316800806584036420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163008944016056003.post-25405183925172519412008-11-12T18:53:00.000-08:002008-11-12T18:53:00.000-08:00Did you type this one sentence at a time between d...Did you type this one sentence at a time between diaper changes like I do on my blog??

I'm at that point you were long ago with a bright 1st grader that I don't have as much time to help as I want to because I'm so busy with three younger siblings.

Taking two little ones to the potty every few minutes is not very conducive to learning anything besides patience. Hey, maybe THAT'S what I'm supposed to be helping Elle learn right now! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think you are already way ahead of the curve since you realize that priorities will have to shift for a little bit. And what priorities could be better than a baby boy who needs to be cuddled, and a slightly older boy who needs help adjusting to his new title of big brother? :-)<BR/><BR/>AnneMom Of E'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10400648492723126269noreply@blogger.com
