Suzanne
Thank you for taking the time to share your comment on my blog and for the Dawnukkah shout out. It felt great for me to write the blog and I cried the whole time. Sometimes just ‘getting it all out’ makes it easier to deal with on a daily basis. Have a great rest of the week.

Hi Kim

Thank you for your thoughtful comment on my blog. It felt good to post it, and even though it is very personal I just felt that this was a good time to let it out. I am tired of carrying it around. I cried the whole time I wrote it, but it was a good cry. We all have our issues and this one felt good to get out, makes it a little easier to deal with. Have a fantastic day!

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog post. I have a 14 month old now and I am going to look into the rollover breathing lessons, my neighbor is doing something similar with her baby.

Hi Dawn:
I come from a similar situation and can easily relate to the small piece of paper.
My birth Mother was also very young. She ended up in a home for unwed mothers. I was taken from her at a very early age (days or hours, I think) and placed in foster care. I was adopted at three months. I grew up in a loving home, but often wonder how much of my makeup is due to the lack of a loving mother between the ages of birth and three months.
Take care,
Robin

You are an incredible woman, Dawn and I am better for having met you and continuing to work with you and getting to know you on a personal level, too. You moved me to tears with this post and I want to thank you for opening yourself up about such a personal topic. Your transparency – humbles me.

Love,
Kim

Dawn,
Thank you for sharing. This is so beautiful, I have tears streaming down my face right now. It must be so hard for you on your birthday. And I never realized how difficult it must be for a person who is adopted to give birth and all the feelings that go along with that. Thank you for helping me understand adoption from a different viewpoint.
And Happy Dawnukkah!!!

Hi Dawn,

It’s great that you’re persistent with the lessons. Too bad you are not in the Southern California area, I would direct you to Waterworks Aquatics which has two locations in Irvine and San Diego and teaches swimming lessons to children ages 3 months and older.

I would recommend going to a school that teaches rollover breathing. Waterworks Aquatics teaches this method, and if done correctly, can be a highly effective way to get your daughter swimming across the pool. You can check out there website at http://www.waterworksswim.com/carlsbad

They have a cool video on their technique.

I’m not into baking but my kids love making homemade ice cream with real fruit. It’s a great way to get them to have some dairy while I control the level of sweetness. As a special lunch treat I’ll put the forzen homemade ice cream into a cool drink thermos and they have it a Lunch smoothie at school.

Dawn, my little 5-yr old and I always bake muffins. She especially loves chocolate on top of chocolate everything! She is also lactose intolerant, but while in CA, we had REAL CA milk and she was fine. Even made a few smoothies for myself that she could enjoy without the backlash. I love REAL CA milk! It’s soooo much sweeter when baking with the little ones AND they don’t get sick

Kelly,

I agree about getting your nutrition naturally through your food, it is the best way. But if I am short on time then making a smoothie is also a great solution for getting multiple food groups ‘down the hatch’.

Dairy Girl – Love your idea of using a fun straw. I have a friend who is having a hard time getting her little one to drink milk and I think that the fun straw idea might work. Thanks!

Thank you for your comment, I love to make smoothies too. I like to try and make a lot of different ones and have found that we like a peanut butter chocolate smoothie.

I also love making smoothies at home – it’s a tasty way to boost my calcium intake, and they’re so refreshing after a workout. Strawberry banana is my favorite flavor.

I really like the variety of recipes that are shown! There are so many vitamins and supplements out there but it seems so much better to get your nutrition naturally through your food.

One way to make milk more fun is to get a fun straw for sipping! I wasn’t a big milk fan when I was little but my mom bought me a minnie mouse straw to entice me to drink more milk and water (and less blue gatorade, which was my drink of choice at the time, and thinking about it now just gives me a toothache…)

Mommy needs to take of herself first. Then everything will fall into place. It is something we will struggle with for the rest of our lives. And yes, you do drive a fancy car!
