It's finally starting to work, but it's taken a lot more than two days. Maybe it needs to be more concentrated, or maybe it was too long overdue, but one way or the other I'm glad we are headed in the right direction. Your advice on the subject was so good to hear because it helped me to understand why I prompted to take the direction that I have, and also why it's been working, and maybe how to do it better.

My husband and I read your response together and both decided to try the experiment as it were and it's helped so much. Neither of us are naturally all that touchy and we needed the reminder. There is nothing that says,'you are accepted by me' like touch. <br />I've been loving this blog so much, I feel like it's the voice of reason for me in the tumult of pop parenting that surrounds us. And it's been great to have a third party to bring in to kick off great discussion between Scott and I about what kind of a family we are trying to create.

It seems like an over-simplification to suggest that "love conquers all" but it really does. I know it's the thing I need when I'm in the "me no want to" frame of mind. Do we ever outgrow that need?Jane Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648128868740038147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111959418563495652.post-34597807725281524342010-01-15T20:39:58.405-08:002010-01-15T20:39:58.405-08:00Jane, you make me cry sometimes. thank you for re...Jane, you make me cry sometimes. thank you for reminding those of us in the midst of having three year olds that there is beauty in every time and place. thank you for taking the time to share wisdom and grace with us. thank you.Corinnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121724935342245737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111959418563495652.post-27354900290164588292010-01-15T17:45:22.694-08:002010-01-15T17:45:22.694-08:00Jane, this really helped this week.
