Most of the blogs I read are written by parents of babies and toddlers. They have so many concerns about their children, and I remember having the same concerns when my kids were little. Here is a little reassurance for you.
Haley as a toddler: Running into the street, talking to strangers, world-class tantrums (the neighbors called the police).
Haley now: Absolutely delighful young lady, sweet, self-controlled, helpful, creative, a good friend and daughter. She always helps around the house and takes care of our dogs almost by herself.
Morgan as a baby: Born six weeks premature, slow development, didn't walk until 15 months old.
Morgan now: Tall, healthy, athletic, smart, reads a book a day and can throw a football out of the park (we have to buy a lot of footballs).
Annie as a baby: Constantly cried, cried all day, cried all night.
Annie now: Only cries when she is sad! Sweet, sensitive young lady. Needs a lot of extra cuddling, but gives a lot of extra cuddling, too!
So just hang in there! Soon you will have only the memories of the crying, the sleepless nights and the constant diaper changing. Someday your little darling will be baking brownies for you...and it will all be worth it!
