This dawned on me tonight when I saw a picture of a girl on a blog in her sneakers and socks and it hit me that my baby probably wont wear sneakers often. I also realized that the way you do things will probably be the way you do things for your kids and not to think otherwise. Before baby was born I bought him numerous coats, fluffy bear suits and outwear options that he wore maybe once. (along with many other fancy outfits that he wore for maybe an hour) and I realized, I don't wear coats ever. That's probably why I never made him wear them. I just threw some blankets on him and called it a day. The weather wasn't terribly cold this winter either which helped.
So it just gets you to thinking what else will you impose on your child even if you think you'll do a better job with them. Some things are fine... like sneakers. I am more of a slip on shoe kinda gal, sneakers and socks just aren't my thing. Coats, okay maybe I should work on that because other people will probably look at me and wonder where my kid's coat is. Eating is a huge worry. I am a terrible terrible eater. At this point in my life I eat... ice cream, candy, starbucks, progresso macaroni and bean soup, cookies, rice and vegetables and that's basically it. I am a terrible eater. I don't really eat meat except for every so often lunch meat or bacon but only if I cook it myself. So blah blah I could go on and on but you get the point this is a problem. I tell myself I will make him a better eater but I really don't know how. I also hope I can be more outgoing for him. I hope he feels confident to talk to anyone and make them feel engaged. I am terrible at small talk... and sometimes I don't care much to talk to anyone but sometimes I just don't think to do it. So I hope I can let him be more social and experience more than I ever cared to....
We are going on vacation next week with my family!!!!!!!!!! So I will post those pictures when we return and maybe another post before I go. Sorry for no pictures... I need to take more..... but mostly he is naked all day and just drooling and chewing at things.
He was so fussy today which I think was because of his teeth :( I hope tomorrow is a better day for him.
