My daughter, who is 3, has made the library her personal hill to die on. It has been a challenge for me and my oldest. As book lovers who practically worship at the library, we can understand it! I have had that same experience you described so many times and your words, brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing!

currently in the midst of a slower approach to potty training after an attempt at the three day method turned my 2 1/2 year old into a melting toddler at the slightest thing. right there with you on the desire for instantaneous change, so thank you for the reminder that the good stuff takes time.

“Content for once just to notice the signs of change.” Can I cry and clap and Amen all at once?
