Some things I thought about during their infancy now seems insignificant compared to things I think about now - and I'm sure the dynamic will continue to shift.<BR/><BR/>Also, every child is different. My first child is very shy and anxious - for her I wish a life where she feels comfortable and strong. I strive to provide that environment for her until she can find it for herself.<BR/><BR/>My second child has food allergies - for her I wish for a life with knowledge of what her body can and can't handle. I try to teach her of those boundaries every day, so that as she gets older, her choices won't be so hard.<BR/><BR/>It would be so hard to make a blanket statement, because I didn't know those things until I knew THEM! Good luck with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837345226891057939.post-91982689970367473032008-10-23T10:36:00.000-07:002008-10-23T10:36:00.000-07:00This post is awesome.
