Independence

Fiona is already learning to play independently. I love to watch her. She will entertain herself for up to 20 minutes at a time sometimes. Zoe never did that. Though to her defense we never gave her 20 seconds to herself, let alone 20 minutes! ! If I knew then what I figured out this time around I think things would have been a lot different - or at least easier for me. But thats what makes it so amazing parenting more than one kid - you learn so much about YOURSELF! I hope they both will benefit from the way I was a different Mommy to each of them. I don't think I have scarred them for life - yet!
