So many folks follow Ezzo and people like that because they offer such easy solutions to hard problems but babies can be difficult, they don't mean to, but they can and they need love and compassion and a great deal of cuddling to become compassionate people. sad that you’re leaving

How can I pick just one favorite?

“Babies on a bed” had me in tears.

“Why ‘American-style’ parenting might not be best for your baby” was so informative – and I agree with everything in it.

“What is the ideal space between children?
and Is artificial twinning right for you?” I’ll leave it up to your imagination why these are of interest to me right now :-)

and finally….

“How to drive your social worker nutty” This was me…except you forgot – go up to everyone with a baby and grill them about how old, how much does the baby weigh and what size they are wearing…as the parents get a scared look on their faces and are about to run away clutching their baby, explain that you are expecting a child and go into great detail (following them if you have to) about your adoption process and your child waiting to come home, don’t let them get away without showing them every referral picture you have.
