I do say many days "I can't do this!" They aren't just difficult though - they are also wonderful, sweet, smart, funny, and super cute. :-) <BR/><BR/>My library doesn't have the book though. :-( I think I will request that they get it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the review1Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702528111724344152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-57725437674917549062008-05-21T22:32:00.000-05:002008-05-21T22:32:00.000-05:00Hi Lisa,I was pleased to find mention of Toddler t...Hi Lisa,<BR/><BR/>I was pleased to find mention of Toddler today on your blog! I was completely blindsided when my sweet, easy baby became a recalcitrant toddler and I put together the anthology as a kind of selfish altruism--I was so desperate to see how other parents were coping and to learn from their experiences. I didn't want a how-to book--though I think how-to books serve their function, I always learn so much more from reading/hearing about other people's experiences.<BR/><BR/>I've since written two more books--one called WHY BABIES DO THAT and one (co-authored with my husband) called THE BABY BONDING BOOK FOR DADS. I think TODDLER is a much more substantial book but, interestingly, it's sold half the number of copies as WHY BABIES, maybe partly because parents of toddlers don't identify themselves as such? In any case, it is intended for people with small children who have no time to read (the stories are short enough to read in the bathroom) and I'm glad it found its way to your blog! I hope some of your readers can check it out of the local library and find the same solace in the book that I was looking for then (now mine are 8,7, and 4. How did they get so big so fast?!)<BR/><BR/>All best,<BR/>Jennifer Margulis<BR/>http://babybondingbookfordads.blogspot.com/About the bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411111522044827736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-62026783978444503182008-05-21T17:42:00.000-05:002008-05-21T17:42:00.000-05:00Hi Lisa!

How did that happen!) As you can see from my girls' ages, my oldest was just a few weeks shy of being 4 at the time the little one came along and I vividly recall going through a rough patch those first few months. It sounds like these essays are truly serving their purpose of giving you some parenting food for thought and helping you see that your daily stresses are typical. And your wee ones are so adorable, by the way. Love the lipstick. ;) <BR/><BR/>Take care!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.com
