Transition
No One Told Me This Year Would Change Everything
 
It's funny how many milestones catch you totally off-guard. You turn around, and suddenly you're looking at a totally different kid.

Seeing my child grow and thrive makes me swell with pride, but it also makes me a little wistful for the baby he left behind when he started 'big kid school.'" 

Read all about the changes she's seen over the last year, and reach out to tell me all about which stages have surprised you the most: HiScaryMommy@bdg.com

Emma Wilkins was at the movie theater when her two oldest kids slipped away to the bathroom in a moment of miscommunication — and suddenly, she had no idea where they were. It all worked out, and in the end, she was even glad it happened. Here's why.
