Mama’s secrets —13-month-old

So now you know all the secrets of motherhood. The secret of why mama's coffee is always (ALWAYS!) cold. The secret shushhhhhhing sound that makes your toddler fall right asleep. The secret move that lets you change a diaper without a poop-related situation. The secret way your heart transforms when a child enters your life. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. One more secret: These 6 leggings are our secret weapons. The best we've tried, tested and rocked at daycare drop off. ✔️ Baby this week: It's not a secret that sometimes your tot is still afraid of strangers. Try this: Do something kind for the person your child fears. "What a nice grandpa!" Pat grandpa's arm. Hand him a toy. Give him a hug. Let your toddler know that everything is just fine with your actions.
