Candid Coffee Talk is a new series here on The Mombot, where I take a time-out from the usual topics to share a snippet of my life as a mom… and since it’s “candid,” you can be sure it’s honest (probably a little too honest). So grab a cup of coffee, read on and join in the discussion!

Don’t worry, this isn’t a post about all my marital problems (this is candid, but not that candid!).

I ran across this infographic on Pinterest recently and was thankful for the reminder that all children are different and have different needs. I was also thankful for the small insight into what to do with my “determined child” who, at almost 3 years old, is aging me by the day.
How could I be afraid of being alone with these two precious faces??
It’s been two weeks since I had Lincoln, and today is the first day I’m going it alone.
I was lucky enough to have my husband home with me for two whole weeks, but today he had to return to the office. What’s worse? I have to venture out of the house because we are almost out of diapers… so much for easing into it.
Funny how going out of the house with two requires so much thought and preparation… do I take the tandem stroller, or leave the baby in the carseat and use a cart? Or maybe I should put the baby in the sling… What time should I go? It has to be planned around feedings and naptime… What do I need to put in the diaper bag in case of emergency?… I’m exhausted just contemplating it all.
I was pretty fearful about taking care of them by myself a week ago, but after a couple of trial runs this week, I’m not so scared. For the most part, I think I need to focus on having patience with my toddler. The baby is easy, albeit demanding. Mia, on the other hand, requires a watchful eye due to her constant curiosity.
It doesn’t seem like that long ago that I was holding my tiny little girl in my arms in the hospital, in complete awe of how beautiful, perfect, and tiny she was.
Now she walks, talks, and tests my patience daily.
