Yeah, what Kristin said: the free time comes back. As Berlyn grows, you should always be thinking of new ways to give her independence, which is to say new ways for her to learn to do things for herself. (My daughter had friends (twins) who, at TEN, asked me to cut their pancakes for them. That is just wrong for so many reasons.)

Berlyn’s independence=Becky’s freedom. Eyes on the prize, sistah.

HA! No, I’m not pregnant. I mean it like, ‘please remind me why I thought this was a good idea’. The ‘again’ was in reference to asking the question ‘why?’ again. Not the act of having babies again.
No more babies for me right now. I have enough on my plate as is…

What do you mean “Why did I sign up for this again?” Are you pregnant?

The free time does come back… especially after you show the little darlings how to slap together their own turkey sandwich!

But, I know what you mean… we haven’t had a nanny since February (for the first time in 10 years) and I admit that it’s been an adjustment… mostly good, but there have been times I wish someone else was there to pick up the slack and give me a break.

seriously, what is it with The Hungry Catepillar? I think i have been summoned to read that to her a hundred times.
But she is so cute with it that it is hard to resist.

I will make you chocolate soufflé and clean your tub:)

I totally expect something in return for all that I give!
