This weekend my friend helped me move Baby K’s crib out of my bedroom and into AJ’s room, I was nervous and he’s my baby so I wasn’t quite ready to let go and allow him to be in a room away from me. My boys have always been hard for me to let go, I don’t know why. My daughter who is 7 now has always been encouraged to be independent and I have had little problems with letting her discover life and learn as she goes but for some reason I am different with my two boys.

Comfortable Relationships
I am a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. It is all too easy to say words, and for me it’s easy to write words, however, actions are what truly show how you are feeling towards a person. Involuntary body gestures show exactly what a person may be thinking or feeling towards you.
