Mommyhood

Welcome to the Journey!
Pin It Saturday night I had an interesting conversation with a friend. Her son is close in age to Peanut (2 1/2) and she was sharing how another boy about their age knows all of his letters. She felt like a bad mom because her son only knows his colors and some shapes. But then she said (half serious), "Whether he can count, read, is potty ...
