ll. See, it's all the fault of this excellent book I didn't read but readily discussed at my Moms Club book group today:Finding out that we just have to let our kids have play space and play time and let them try and let them fail and and...just be there for them to become happy, well-adjusted individuals. That and, get a pet, help them feel part of some kind of community or group, and a few other really key things thay my friend K had the total skinny on. Highly recommended book.

I LOVE podcasts. They are the coolest things ever for this book-on-tape girl.I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO REGULAR WRAPPING PAPER AGAIN.
