This is an interesting year of motherhood for me. As a gift to myself for my 40th birthday, I weaned my youngest child, age 17mo. This is not a bittersweet moment for me. It's a relief, a promise of new things to come. Perhaps this is the last time I wean a child, and that's just fine with me. My oldest will get her driver's license in January, and almost immediately we'll go into driver's ed for the second. My friends: I might not have to drive the children places. Oh, can you imagine?
Ruega por nosotros.
Ruega por nosotros.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWhen people wonder how I can parent in a large city, they underestimate the value of handing a kid a MetroCard. My five were all self-transporting by age 11. It is a beautiful thing.
