My baby loves my knuckles?

My Karen Michelle outfit that I modeled yesterday

All my kids loved to hold my hand while falling asleep from the time they were infants.  At first they hold on to the pointer finger, then slowly the whole hand, and now my baby just loves to knead my knuckles.  He has a pretty strong grip, he will probably be a good masseuse, lucky for me! For now it sometimes is even a little uncomfortable, but it puts him to sleep, go figure, to each their own.  Lately he is getting frustrated when I cannot figure out what he wants, we were told his brain and understanding are like a two year old, but his language is not there yet.  I just spent time trying to get him to nap, he was super fussy, maybe teeth as well, he was fighting it so hard.  I let him cry while I laid down with him and finally said I understand that you are upset, I am so sorry.  Then he calmed down and fell asleep.  I recently went to an amazing parenting class that was explaining how important it is for kids to know how to say no.  In some strict families, they are not allowed, and then are not prepared later in life when they need to stand up for themselves and say no.  Also I heard that it is OK for them to get upset and let it out, I tried to stay calm, it was hard, I saw he was tired, so I let him have the freedom to show me how upset he was.  I guess with this third baby, I have a bit more energy and patience, Thank God. 

Last night I was lucky to be part of an amazing Women's Wellness event focusing on loving your body, and just supporting each other.  The food was delicious, the models ranged from around 8 years old to fabulous mommies of all ages.  There were also a few professional plus sized models that were absolutely stunning.  Karen from Karen Michelle was telling me that now the skirt length fashion is mid calf, but many people dressing modestly like it either right at the knees or all the way to the floor, fashion is so interesting.  I had a blast modeling and networking with all the talented, happy, and diverse women showcasing their unique wares and services.
