I love to read. I read everything, from Fifty Shades of Grey, to Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy, to Divergent. I read this book called That's My Son that I loved. In my sleepless days, I ordered two of this great book. Which is not surprising because he had many nights where he slept 2-3 hours at a time up until he was about 5 months and made his transition to his own room and crib, He still has his moments on occasion. Here lately, he has become an all night sleeper. It was about time, but I am bird walking-forgive me, it is the teacher in me.
This book is a MUST READ for those of you who have a son. It was a real eye-opener for me. I, the mom who is the cuddler, coddler, and all around wuss when it comes to putting my son in potential harms way (even if that is just daddy turning him upside and saying, "Give me your milk money" to make him giggle. It still gives me the heebee geebees. I mean seriously freak me out kind of stuff that probably isn't that dangerous in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes when my husband does dare devil stuff in front of my parents I think they are going to have a heart attack and have to make Jeff stop! So, I need a lot of work on some of the ideas presented in this book.
While this book was written more for a single mother, I still like some of the ideas presented. Like any book, you take the information that works for you and you discard the rest. However, I really was on board with a lot of the things that I need to do as a mother-including not being overprotective. Ummm....yea...it will be a problem.
So anyway like I said, in my sleepless days I ordered two of these somehow from Amazon. Instead of sending the extra back, I thought why not host a giveaway. So, spread the word. If you want to enter this giveaway for this extra awesome read and a gift card to Starbucks (because sometimes a 5:30 or 6:30 wake up call means an extra tall latte), just follow this blog and answer this question.
