We moms all know that you can't always protect your child. We also know that while we want to run to the rescue any time life hands our children a setback or challenge, we have to sometimes sit back and let them figure it out for themselves...even if that means they'll fail.
Yeah yeah yeah. We know it, we hear it from our parents, we read it in articles. But if you're like me, you don't always follow this advice. I admit I shelter Peyton from more than I should but I simply can't help it. Maybe this will change when #2 arrives. Who knows? Either way, I read this article on MSN and thought it was interesting, albeit rehashed stuff I already know.

It's never bad to refresh yourself with why it's important to be less protective from time to time. I mean, the last thing I want to do is raise a titty baby like my poor husband (who happens to be the baby and is still sucking at the teet of his mum). *Shudder!!!*
