Growing Pains…

So today, I went to look at a school for Sofia. I cannot even tell you how great the school was but all I was thinking was “Does she really need to go to school, what if there’s an earthquake, what if that turtle gets out  of its cage and bites her finger off, what if a crazy parent steals my kid?”….

PEOPLE IS THIS NORMAL??????? Is this what you should be thinking?

OH! And then as we were leaving I saw a school bus and I thought “Oh, they could never drive her anywhere, god forbid the bus driver was a drinker or tired”…. I mean, seriously?!

I know in my heart she needs to go to school and its going to be great for her because she loves other kids, playing and learning. Again, it is  me - not wanting my little angel to be too far. PARENTS, please tell me you have had the same thoughts…..I can’t even imagine leaving her for 6 hours! That’s like the WHOLE DAY!!!!! would it be weird for me to sit in the parking lot for the first… I don’t know - year?

Love,

Leah

Dear Karrie,

Thank you for the compliment! And as far as teething…ohhhhh Karrie… I remember this so well. What we gave Sofia was a thing called Hyland’s homeopathic teething tablets and there is also a thing called Humphrey’s also used for teething. What I did was put the recommended dosage for her age in a tiny bit of water, like the tiniest amt of water and I sucked it up with a dropper and gave it to her that way. It seemed to help. Also, at Toys R’ Us, Babies R’ us or any baby store, they have these little food nets. They are almost shaped like a strawberry and we would put large chunks of ice in there and just hold it and let her suck on it.
