What Am I?

For the most part, I am an AP parent. What might that be, you ask? Please check out this link. It gives a brief description -- http://www.ivillage.com/what-attachment-parenting/6-a-127876

I also like this article because it tell you what attachment parenting is not -- http://www.alternative-mama.com/attachment-parenting-what-its-not/

One of the aspects of AP parenting that my baby never enjoyed was baby wearing. I think he takes after his mother and has some claustrophobia going on.  He does love to sleep close to me. It is something I love to do with him, too. He takes his naps right next to me. It allows me to get the rest I need, catch up on a book, or just sit and meditate life's mysteries for a while. If I do need to get something done, I put him in his crib. Mostly, however, I take a nap when he does.

I know that will change once we have another little one, but for now I am savoring this special time I have with my one-and-only. He's going to grow up fast; he will not be little for much longer. I want to look back and say I took advantage of many precious moments with him. Life doesn't come with a rewind button. I'm starting to realize that more and more each day.
