Letting Go — One Toddler Step at a Time
As I splash my face with water, washing away my cleanser as quickly as I can, I strain to listen for my toddler over the noise of the flowing tap. But tonight I am listening not in dread of my 18-month-old daughter waking up, but almost in fear that she won’t call out for me…

I was going to leave a comment on the Guideposts site, but then I realized that you have to “log in” to leave comments…so I thought I’d post here instead.
We loved co-sleeping with our older daughter (until she was 1…now she’s 2 1/2 and loves sleeping in her own room…when guests stay with us, she always complains a little about having to sleep in our room)…and we love co-sleeping with our 1-month-old daughter now. There’s something so gentle and peaceful about it.
Actually, I recently wrote a post about our experience: http://metropolitanmama.net/2009/04/sleep-my-little-baby-bird/.
