tiny wisdoms

I blather on about a few things that take up lots of my brain power in parenting, food and sleep, aka human survival. Here are some pearls of wisdom that have been passed on to me that I need you to know. 

Have your child say goodbye to the park, toy store, tv, whatever it may be and it's easier to go. We all need closure.

Always break a cracker (or cookie) in two and put half in each hand. So simple. Two busy hands, one happy mouth.

This one is a biggie, and it is so hard to do sometimes, we do things faster and cleaner and there are times that is necessary for us to keep our sanity. But if they can do something for themselves = let them do it! (Thanks three day nanny for sparking this conversation...)
