Amy and I check our favourite blogs regularily, she likes to point at the pictures and I like to read about what friends (both real life and internet) are up to. Its amazing how helpful reading about other peoples parenting skills can be! Self-doubt is one thing when you are managing your own life, but when you are trying to do the best thing by your child, it can be crippling. I mostly feel confident about my abilities to parent effectively and watching Amy grow and change has to be proof of that.
