When I had my first child, Andrew I thought I had to do everything that I was told. I didn't realize that I was the mom this time and all the decisions were up to me and my husband. Boy did I miss out on that first year.
What changed me? I guess it was the internet. I started hearing, or reading, about more and more people doing what I always thought I would like to do for Andrew, but was told that it would spoil him. Then it hit me. Andrew is a baby. I mean even at 3 years of age he is still a baby and he needs me. I am his mommy. I was put on this earth to spoil him. Why should I let him "cry it out" ? Why not bring him into bed with me and cuddle him? He is growing up so fast. And before I know it he won't let me cuddle with him, or even hug him in public.
Things with Austin started out totally diffrent than they did with Andrew. I do just what I think is best. Yes, most of my family disaproves with what I do. So what to I tell them? Nothing. I mean if they don't bring it up I won't either. Why give myself another usless headache?
