And I am clearly sooooo worthy (just ask my kids! ha. ha.). Ryan is starting an in-home daycare soon, just one day a week to socialize with Keep Reading Mom of the Year award Oh boy.

They’re cute, pretty, decorative, fun, soft and comfy.… except that they’re not. They’re dangerous. Believe me, I know how much it sucks to admit that – you want to love them, you want to find the perfect set, you want your baby’s nursery to look perfect! But at Keep Reading Just say NO! to crib bumpers I need advice from other moms or people who know more about child development than I do. Should a toddler (Ryan is 2o months) have structured play and be expected to listen and follow directions? Or should he be free to explore and do as he pleases?
