I’m having a really hard day. I can’t imagine how hard it is for my toddler as well. Together we’re both dealing with some really big emotions. I forget how much we have to teach our littles as they become more integrated with society. We’re not automatically born with the…

Note: I’m not a Child Passenger Safety Technician and I don’t claim to be. Have you seen that video done by The Ohio State University? If you haven’t, check the link below: https://youtu.be/tuZFVPv3Rpk This isn’t meant to scare you — actually yes, it is. But it’s not supposed to make…
