Liam's Adventure

Liam spent his first time away from mommy and daddy last night for 4 hours! Our dear friends, Liam's godparents watched him while we went to Todd's business work party.  It was hard for mommy - although I knew he was in a very safe place with a family who loves him.  I really missed him - so did his daddy! 
Many people share with Todd & I  their disapproving thoughts with us in regards to our attachment parenting methods - co-sleeping, sling wearing, being with Liam since he was born, etc...but both hubby and I feel that being older parents has even given us more of a desire to spend as much time with him as possible - we do not feel like we are missing out on 'doing our own things' as we were able to do those things for that past many years.  We LOVE being parents! 
However, Liam enjoyed being with Peter & Nancy and the entertainment the other children provided wore him out:) We will need to visit more often - as Liam slept the best last night! However - I am bummed because I got no pictures....so I guess we'll have to do it again:)

Tina, I am so glad that you and Todd are doing the attachment parenting- I think its great! Ignore the ignorance of others if they dissaprove of it- you are doing what is best for your family and that is what is important! I love keeping up with your blog! Merry Christmas!

We would love to help wear Liam out anytime! :o) We're happy to help you and Todd get a little more sleep . . . we've been there, done that. And, we've had people tell us that we should just let our babysitter put Anya to bed even if she cries . . . but so far only us and grandmas have done that job. So we're on your side! :o)
Love,
Nancy
