Well, If That Idiot Can Do It...

I think I have had a revelation people. Have any of you ever watched some skanky reality TV show where the women have children and thought to yourself - really? These women (or girls in some cases) have kids??? I stress out over MC every.single.day. (Am I doing this right? What if she does this? What if she doesn't do this? I'm obviously talking to myself so what if I'm a complete lunatic and totally screw her up?) Then I realized, hey, if these idiots can raise a child without killing them, surely I can too! I mean seriously, do you think these people constantly monitor their child's milk intake to the ounce? I'm guessing no. Based on some of the junk I've seen, they probably throw their baby a bottle of leftover beer and are done with it. Anyway, my point is, their child still survives. Its sad, but I freak to the point that I think MC is going to die or something if she doesn't eat like she should or drink all of her "required" intake of milk. If she was thirsty, wouldn't she drink?

Then I started watching rivermonsters. (I have a point to this seemingly major sidetrack in topic) It showed a large group of African villagers and that made me start thinking about tribe babies. (Sorry, I just don't really know what else to call them) Anyway, they were barely clothed and probably didn't eat a whole lot based on the fact that I thought some of them were going to literally kill over with excitement when the guy brought them a huge fish to eat. My point is, despite the fact that they didn't have the right sippy cup, they lived. Maybe I should just chill.

Now, I realize this is going to be much easier said than done. I am uptight. Always have been. However, I feel I need to soak in the advice of many a facebook wall poster and just go with the flow. Doctors all reccomend being off the bottle at a year old so I am taking her bottle away and I am not going to freak out anymore. hahaha. Lets see how long this lasts...

I hope she decides to love the sippy cup so you don't have to stress.

I know this is no fair, BUT I am so glad that you are dealing with all these things so that when TM gets here and I freak out all the time I can just remember everything you did. Thanks friend!
