3 yrs of indescribable love & joy. You’ve changed me in the most profound way, sweet boy. Hbd oakie baby. You’ll forever be my oakie baby I don’t care how old you get sorry.

She’s not your average little lady Busting all the gender stereotypes with her fierce & energetic zest for life, Koh babe follows the lead of her true spirit everyday. Courageous, confident, creative & vibrant; Kohen seeks adventure & turns ordinary moments into exhilarating ones. From the moment she arrived, we knew she was a force to be reckoned with. Happy 5th Birthday, to our sparkly fire cracker. Never change, baby girl

Bedtime, goodbyes, & transitions represent a departure of some kind, & this is why young children struggle with them. We need to grow young children into independent, social & separate beings who can go to sleep, play on their own, attend school, & eventually leave home. What young children need to hear over & over again is that an adult is holding onto them, especially at bedtime, the biggest disconnect of the day. The answer lies not in teaching them how to separate but in making it easy for them to separate. They will let go of us when they feel we are holding on to them (while separated). In other words, if separation is the problem, attachment is the solution. -Dr. Deborah Macnamara @deborahmacnamara
