do it while you can

Of course once you have a child the guilt sets in and will always be floating around in the back of your mind. So I've started a new mantra. DO IT WHILE YOU CAN! It all started with me feeling guilty (ok maybe not guilty but embarrassed or silly that I have speant so much time planning Isaac's first birthday). Then I thought to myself "who cares, do it while you can!" I have the time since I only have one baby and I know we aren't many years away from the requests of store bought Batman and Spiderman themed birthday parties. Why not have fun while I get to pick the theme! I often think too our 2nd baby will never get the same treatment, which I know is inevitable. Here are so more do it while you cans.....

Buying used Christmas toys at consignment sales or off Craigslist
Only giving him healthy food that isn't processed
Giving him a bath and rocking him to sleep every night
Continuing to breastfeed past a year


This is such a special age and of course we won't be able to do any of these things forever but I try to do what I can in the moment and enjoy every minute of it!
