I've cut back on it a lot and I can only hope that I can think about it as clearly as you do when we're in that situation.

She's truly so smart and you're SUCH a good momma!!! Thank you for your honesty. Comparison is so easy to creep into our lives but we have to just dismiss it and be happy with where we are :)Kayla MKOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816303137102382714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-29284112528443542982015-04-03T08:59:45.194-05:002015-04-03T08:59:45.194-05:00But sometimes healthy food and independent toddler...But sometimes healthy food and independent toddlers IS someone's real life. And maybe they look at other Instagram feeds and wish something else for their child. I always say that just because someone else's life is good, that doesn't mean yours is bad.

Finn w...I feel like Finn and Addi are very similar! Finn would never sit by himself for long and has to be right next to us at pretty much all times. He's a very laid back toddler compared to most but no way would he just sit there and play for an extended period of time. My cousin's son was speaking full, intelligent, understandable sentences by 2 and of course I feel like Finn is nowhere near that. Our full sentences are "what's that?" "where did daddy go?" and maybe a few others but nothing lengthy. However, Finn has the motor skills of a 2.5 year old at 20 months and is super sweet and doesn't hit and is very kind. It's so hard not to compare and I try not to since I never want him to compare himself to others but boy do I catch myself doing it often. I still want to reply to your other email you sent - I've just been busy starting a new job but I promise I will get back to you soon!

I usually hand her my phone when that happens, and I'm sure people think I'm the worst mother. And of course, she has the public meltdowns around other toddlers that are perfectly behaved, and naturally more easy going by nature. I'm learning to just be patient and appreciate Skye for exactly who she is - meltdowns and all!

He doesn't even repeat words, so I wouldn't even get him to say one. ;-) And, although it's hard, I do try not to get too into the comparison game. I have heard that girls do things before boys a lot of the time anyways, and I have no idea if that's really true, but I put that on repeat in my head and know that he'll do it in his own time.
