Yeah, I know...it's kind of blunt, but who can deny it? Let me start by explaining my motivation for starting a blog. A friend of mine had a dream that I wrote a book about being a "laid-back" mom. I have always wanted to write creatively, and I suppose that I am pretty relaxed about the whole mom thing.
Recap:
Our new roommate joined us about three months ago. I guess you could say that she's kind of a free-loader. We're going to keep her though. She spent her first 10 weeks bundled up in a Swaddle and resembled a burrito with a mini-human head sticking out. That human head is almost identical to my husband's, but much smaller. She has beautiful blue eyes which take up half of her face and I swear that I have never seen her blink. Some people wondered why she was so tan, but that appears to have faded now. She can smile and make all kinds of noises. She has also learned that curling her bottom lip gets her attention.
My husband and I have assigned adjectives to her. We've decided that she's dedicated, hard-working, loyal, detail-oriented and most of all, reliable.
I am not going to buy her My Baby Can Read or start potting training her out of the womb (this is a real phenomenom that is happening now). I am not going to give you expert advice on products such as "wipe warmers" ('cause honestly if you buy one, your kid is going to turn into a sissy). I am just going to share a little bit of what it means to me to be laid back as a parent and probably some other random crap. There is more to being a mom than taking care of a child. There is also how one stays sane (or doesn't despite their best attempts).
