I loved it and it resonated with me so much as I struggle not to compare my girls to other toddlers or get worked up over the little things.

Holden didn't say many words until he was two and there were times that we freaked out about it! But then, he turned two and went from not saying anything to saying full phrases. All kids are different and this is one of the best pieces of advice for any mom--new or veteran!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186416865520806779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240416766260332343.post-76230395562851647652016-07-26T10:38:23.513-05:002016-07-26T10:38:23.513-05:00Aww, I just adore Amy and her sweet boys.

Especially when you’re a tired mama just longing for naps, all night sleepers, or a baby that will let you put him down long enough to reheat your coffee for the 4th time. We’ve all been there, I am sure. But you are so right, the days may seem long but the years are most definitely short. Don’t blink mamas….then you’ll have a big ol’ six year old like me. Great post! So encouraging and uplifting.Hall Around Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593724546533748783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240416766260332343.post-6228172443423210252016-07-26T10:34:10.116-05:002016-07-26T10:34:10.116-05:00Oh!
