I have adopted so many of your parenting ideas\/techniques since I started reading your blog in high school and am now a 32-year-old mom to a nearly one-year-old baby (eek, crying again!). We just visited family, and she had a blast babbling with her cousins; seeing your kids several years ahead gives me an idea of how to help them develop their own friendships down the line and how I can be a good aunt to my nephews. Not to sound creepy, but a HUGE thank you for sharing your life on the Internet and helping me know what to expect as I enter life stages a few behind yours.\u201d [Ed. note: Sob!
