Do you ever have those days when you need a little something to boost your confidence? I had one of those days today. I've got a stressful few weeks ahead of me and I knew my black peep toe pumps would give me the extra boost of confidence I needed to face my challenges head on. I suppose everyone has their own confidence boosters, but for me, if I dress the part, I can act the part. So I put on my gray shift dress, my pumps and hit the road. I must admit, it worked. Day one of the challenging time was not nearly as bad as I expected it to be!
One of my stressers traces back to my motherhood apprehension. Ben is approaching his first birthday and we have begun to introduce cow's milk in a sippy cup. It never ceases to amaze me how much advice can be found on all things baby. So, now my mind is home to another battle: No bottle after one year? Introduce cow's milk as a beverage with meals? Serve the milk in his bottle? Am I hindering his development? Am I taking away his security? I know deep down that whatever decision we make, Ben will adjust because he is a very resilient kid. That knowledge doesn't take away my worry, however. I also vaguely remember hearing something about parenting and worrying going hand in hand, but I could be mistaken...
