I know that I will miss so many things about these early years of motherhood but this I know: I won’t miss the whining.   A couple of weeks ago, we had a library whining situation.

I knew this day would come. Leo is an extremely intense child. Everyone always asks me if it’s “hard” to homeschool him precisely because he’s so challenging.
