When you come back to Cape Cod you can start to study. Your baby needs to learn both English and Chinese in this new world of ours! Our baby is learning both!Magnushttp://www.mandmx.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695345272433215686.post-83136022340449867732009-09-21T21:05:03.339-04:002009-09-21T21:05:03.339-04:00I would be glad to help you with the sling.

Please feel free to email me for help sorting this out. I'm a leader of a babywearing group, I don't sell slings or anything like that. :-)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492033070113165617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695345272433215686.post-42081802044951453712009-09-21T09:54:15.316-04:002009-09-21T09:54:15.316-04:00Ooh - the ability to conjure up ice cream!

I want that skill, too! <br /><br />I'm so excited to read your posts every day (especially now that you'll be able to tell about actually meeting AwesomeCloud!). Thank you so much for keeping us updated.<br /><br />If you have specific parenting questions, I can try to give you specific answers - the problem is often that there are way too many factors of not-being-in-your-shoes and other variables for it to be necessarily helpful; it's not your basic algebra. See? That sounds like the same vague frustrating stuff. <br /><br />Sorry! I'll just shush and listen again. Keep up the news!MaryEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863688407261877310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695345272433215686.post-71827764942055846932009-09-20T22:32:57.639-04:002009-09-20T22:32:57.639-04:00I wish I was able to help you figure out that slin...I wish I was able to help you figure out that sling! I used one with my last few kids but it's not something I can explain, I'd have to try it out. :/ Meh. <br /><br />If you actually want advice about if he's kicking and screaming, read this paragraph. If not, skip to the next. If you're emotions are under control, I've always been a fan of hug therapy. You sit and wrap your arms around the child and hold tight, allowing him to struggle all he wants but not letting go. Usually my child would eventually relax against me and be soothed. This doesn't work in every situation though and you'd have to play it by ear if it was the right tactic for the time. Sometimes it's better to let them cry it out themselves in a crib or other safe area. Very situational which I'm afraid is not very helpful. <br /><br />There's a lot of trial and error in parenting. I always hope that an abundance of love will cover any of the errors!<br /><br />You're in my prayers and my thoughts have been with you all day, today especially for some reason.Lori Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516038083101521220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695345272433215686.post-4379245154742174392009-09-20T21:48:55.390-04:002009-09-20T21:48:55.390-04:00I know you're worried, and with good reason, b...I know you're worried, and with good reason, but it really is going to be good. You're getting to meet your Awesome Cloud! No matter what else happens, that is the coolest thing ever. Your baby. Your little boy. You'll figure everything out that you need to figure out, and one way or the other, it will all come together when it needs to. Enjoy meeting your precious little baby for the first time. And remember, if it doesn't go just right, that's OK. You'll have lots of time in the future and sometime it will be "just right". *hugs*pixnlilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714069017152904128noreply@blogger.com
