Just sayin'

Moments like this can happen even on a short break to the bathroom...you just need to leave someone else with a camera while you hand off the baby to her daddy!

Sometimes when a mama "graduates" from moms group at 6 months, she leaves us with a gem of wisdom. This one is a from a bit ago, but something jarred my memory tonight that I haven't shared this on the blog yet. Here is what she said: Advice from one new mama graduate:

“Go to the bathroom when anyone is around to hold your baby. Just like your moms use to say: Even if you don’t have to go then, just go anyway. Take the opportunity to have a few minutes to yourself in the bathroom while you have the extra hands. Because later you will wish you would have.”

Precious. Don't think I could have said this better if I had tried.
