Having Leo so long after Shaniece felt like I was a brand-new parent to a baby/toddler! I had to learn how to use all the new gadgets that are available now that weren’t when I had Shaniece and I just had to learn how to work with a little human all over again lol! I definitely we can all learn to be better parents every day, no matter how old our kids are. So I found some quotes from Parenting.com that stuck out to me and I wanted to share. I think my favorite one has to be #7. So beautiful and so true. Let me know what you think!
