What a wonderful post. It’s so great to hear how much you are enjoying your daughter! I can tell you are reveling in
the delight of nurturing a child-something that is sadly too often rushed through and not treasured as it should be!
You know what? Your pace seems to suit you just fine! You seem to have a good balance and intuitively know what
works best for YOU, and your own unique personality and strengths. I couldn’t keep up with your activity level and
brimming ideas (!), but that’s just me. I say; if you aren’t stressing yourself and your babies out, and you have a zest
for life and feel refreshed-then yay for you! Keep doing what you love. :)

”I’ve never had such a calm and cooperative baby.” Isn’t it SO MUCH FUN! I’ve had so many types of babies but
the happiness of a calm baby is really refreshing. It’s not just easier, but it’s really fun! You know the 3 month mark
really is a special time of refection. It’s a milestone. I so wish I would do EC. It’s something that bugs me –that I
don’t do it. I think it is amazing and babies ARE SO SMART. We do teach them to go in diapers. I’m glad you have
a great, happpy and well sleeping baby for your last one. Not that Z and L weren’t great. The ease and good natured
aspect really is fun though. The sleeping babies are a god-send! She’s SO SWEET Molly!

L & Z were definitely great too and I had plenty of enjoyment with them as babies, but I also felt like they were hard
work to take care of. There has only been one day in 3 months when I’ve felt like Alaina was hard to take care of and
that was the non-napping post-ICAN conference day I wrote about on Facebook. You’re right, it is both easy and fun!
Speaking of hard work though, EC IS quite a lot of work and I understand why people don’t do it. I feel almost like
I have no choice in the matter–once started, there’s kind of no turning back! And, it is very cool and I’m amazed by
it, but it also very time-consuming and takes quite a lot of energy and I often think, ”what was I thinking?!” Anyway,
I swear she is the most awesome baby on the planet :)
