I've been meaning to set up something like this for a good while now. I wanted somewhere to post random ramblings and something to act as a journal for my daughter's development (19 months and growing quicker every day).
I had started a diary for her - and one day when I have time and/or if this works out for me i shall transfer those ramblings to this space.
So what can I tell you about her? I shall call her Fini here. She's a monkey...adorable, frustrating, a joy, clever, daft, serious....and a load of other stuff that may or may not be classed as transference of her parents' wishes and desires, insecurities and pride.
To date my parenting has been loosely based on the Continuum Concept in that she is breast fed and co sleeps. We also have followed Baby led Weaning as a way of introducing her to solid foods. So far so good. My philosophy with food is:
- Don't make it an issue
- Good Food is it's own reward
- We wouldn't have survived as a species if we really needed our food pureed
Don't get me wrong though, I sound all confident and certain I've made all the right choices but that's far from the case. I often have moments of doubt, insecurities, frustration, but I'll let you know when she's 25 if I feel I've done it right!!
Anyway that's enough for now - going to try and work out how i invite people to this thing.....xx
