Second child, hold them most of the time when fussy, otherwise to the crib. Third child, first child will inform you when their fussy because you will not have noticed. So on and so forth. By the time any of them are old enough, you will put them outside to play when they are fussy or any other time you need a little peace and quiet.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992045408735413650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120951280111200332.post-42624828183636981702010-09-02T13:18:01.569-05:002010-09-02T13:18:01.569-05:00Oh Kim, you're scaring me!

Each challenge is a growing experience, that is for sure. Have a great time with the puppy because when you have a crying baby you can't put it outside and leave it there! Haven't seen any puppy pics lately.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992045408735413650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120951280111200332.post-32149818680876331062010-08-31T19:41:14.142-05:002010-08-31T19:41:14.142-05:00I feel this same way about our new puppy!

They had never had horses before nor had anyone in their families. The stories from that time period in their lives are priceless, and I'm so sorry I missed it. They said it was also a LOT of hard work, so good luck!A House and Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902903298396153589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120951280111200332.post-83655594281591764562010-08-30T20:46:38.694-05:002010-08-30T20:46:38.694-05:00Thanks, Susan.

It was short but very nice. Still love the dishcloths, by the way!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992045408735413650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120951280111200332.post-13865292676318270942010-08-30T15:13:47.794-05:002010-08-30T15:13:47.794-05:00I am sure you will both be great horse parents!
