A "spot on" post about mommies, one of which I've been on both sides. <br /><br />If I can share anything now that my youngest of five is close to 27, the dust will stay, using paper plates is not a social disgrace, and it's worth every roll of toilet paper to witness the expression on your daughter's face as she watches it unroll from one end of the house to the other.Christa Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620389675433700944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-80719902180689298332012-06-15T10:32:25.680-04:002012-06-15T10:32:25.680-04:00I just had a vision of Miss Emily writing her own ...I just had a vision of Miss Emily writing her own version of this blog . . . and it's going to be good!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-26183461944306418742012-06-15T10:13:27.472-04:002012-06-15T10:13:27.472-04:00Thanks, Brenda!

Crossing fingers (and dreaming of epidurals). ;-)<br /><br />Judy, so you didn't run after him, saying, "No, sweetie, please don't go!" And, Karin, your mom didn't chase you either??? There must be something to this tough love thing. :-D Great advice, btw, Ms. Judy!!! <br /><br />Sara, my mom and I still share book recs (and books!), too! I love that. Okay, patience is something I need to learn so I hope Emily can finally teach me.

We still share book recommendations.<br /><br /> Motherhood has taught me to slow down. I also thought I was really patient until I had kids. Learned that wasn't the case! <br /><br />Good luck with the delivery.

He was back in time for dinner, too.<br /><br />Some lessons I learned/taught/want to share: remember to laugh, learn to say you're sorry and mean it, choose your battles wisely.<br /><br />Oh, and sleep when she sleeps.Judy Merrill Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675069484490433295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-60910601760171326942012-06-15T07:58:03.801-04:002012-06-15T07:58:03.801-04:00What a sweet post, Susan!
