If. however, you say 'your baby has a lot going for it, but perhaps it could benefit from a change of nappy' (sorry I think I mean diaper) it's much more likely trigger the desired result.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27201894.post-67270369127202067412009-04-08T12:07:00.000-04:002009-04-08T12:07:00.000-04:00I so agree with this post!

If we can't stand the heat, so to speak, we need to get out of the kitchen. :) Rejection and criticism are never easy, but they are part of this job. A big part, unfortunately. <BR/><BR/>I always take a day to "mourn," eat some chocolate, go for a long walk, then get back to it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting.<BR/><BR/>BeckyRebecca J.
