I am a mom 2 five and you are right we are always learning, i think i have much more patience now, i was a bit over protective with my oldest, i think just admitting you don't know things and not letting people who judge bother you, i have more confidence now, i do not get upset when people say stupid things, and i'm the first to try to learn new ways of doing things, i love my kids, i try to be truthful, that i may make lots and lots of mistakes but they are made from love, i think they really get that

I have a 3 year old and an almost 10 month old. With my second I realize that the time flies so quickly so I try to enjoy him as much as I can and be more patient with him.

I vowed to teach my second how to put herself to sleep... With the first, I thought I had to rock her, nurse her, play music for her... just to get her to sleep. I did that until she was into her own toddler bed at two, then I'd rub her back or lay with her until she went to sleep. When I got pregnant with my second, I had to stop doing that, since I could no longer lay with her in the little bed. I gradually had to back off until I was no longer the main instrument in her sleep pattern. She was 4 1/2 by that time. With the second daughter, I vowed to teach her to put herself to sleep. I'd lay her down before she fell asleep, and if she woke, I'd let her wiggle around for a while before I'd go in. When she nursed at night, I'd lay her down before she totally dozed off so that she wouldn't get used to me being there for her to fall asleep. It worked. By 4 months old, she was able to put herself to sleep at night when I'd lay her in her bed awake. She is now 3, and goes to sleep every night with a tuck-in and a kiss. My oldest, who is now 8, still has to have a drink of water and music on all night! You learn something new with each subsequent child!

Me & my hubby vowed we would never ever get into the habit of rocking another child to sleep. We had the hardest time getting my first child to fall asleep on his own after rocking him to sleep. At 3.5 y.o he still sometimes gives us trouble, wanting one of us in his room until he falls asleep. We didn't do the rocking thing with our second child and we have no bedtime issues with him at all.

I swore I wouldn't let my second sleep in bed with me, but he's still there 21 months later! :)
