But then I think about the fact that she did all the things for me that I am doing for my boys. Wipe their tears, change their clothes, make them food, color pictures together, etc. And I feel terrible for having any negative thoughts in the world. Great post. You are such an insightful person. I always love reading your thoughts about parenting.Organic Motherhood with Cool Whiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305464822153790948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406173063329064022.post-77479647576236720592010-02-16T13:06:23.168-08:002010-02-16T13:06:23.168-08:00I am also a new follower from MBC!

While I have no experience in the mommy department, I can tell you that the realization that you are only human will eventually hit Olivia, but I think that will make her love you even more.

I don't know- my goal in life (for now at least)is just to be the most loving and good person I can be. As you said "Please just let me do my best!"
