Hi friends! Thanks for all of your sleep advice. My take home from all of it was that I AM NOT ALONE, and that I did not somehow do this to my child. It’s just one of the many joys of toddlers – they can be so intensely adorable and sweet but also so intensely mind boggling and infuriating. Reading all of your comments also made me feel like I just need to a take a chill pill about it. In ten years when Remy is yelling “stay away from me, mommy!” as I try to help do her hair or stand next to her in the schoolyard (<– who am I kidding, she does this now) I’ll think back on all the times she just wanted to cling to me as tightly as she could and I’ll almost certainly miss them. And now I’m crying, already missing all the newborn/baby/1 year old/toddler days I’ll never get to have again.
THIS IS MOTHERHOOD, YOU GUYS.
Hug your momma today (and tomorrow!) and cling to her just a little bit. She might think you’re a weirdo, but she’ll also probably appreciate it.
Enjoy this week’s meal plan and happy eating!
