I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I always read your blog, but rarely post. Sad to see you are leaving, but I will start reading your other blog. Gigi is the cutest girl with such personality, it seems she takes after her mother! I was a single mommy for the first 4 years of my oldest(I have two boys- 6 and an almost 2 yr. old)son's life. So I can relate, and definitely will always have a soft spot in my heart for single mommies. Just wanted to let you know that you are a fabulous mom and an awesome writer!:)

sad, but I read your other blog and will follow to the new one so everything is good. Good luck on the new endeavor. :) I just sent you a FB add too.

That's so sad! I didn't comment much, but I really enjoyed your posts. Your other blog is now on my Google Reader. Good luck!

Oh, I'm so sad! Your blog here is my 2pm treat at work.

You and your daughter are such a great team. It's been such a pleasure seeing her get older (and more beautifuller) and laughing at your excellent descriptions of the joys and frustrations of parenthood. But like the others say, I'll follow you at Mommy Martini and Strollerderby and I wish you the best of luck wherever you go and whatever you do.

I was also sad when I saw your headline. Glad to hear I can keep following you at Mommy Martini. Will miss you here, but will keep an eye out at strollerderby.

I was so sad when I first saw your headline. But I'll make sure to keep following you and Mommy Martini, but I'm sure part of me will miss your posts here as well

I'm bummed that you're leaving this blog and will miss your posts, I love your insight and hearing about your beautiful daughter. But the consolidation prize of heading on over to strollerderby and updating Mommy Martini more does help take the sting away ;)

Very sorry to see you go, and sorry you're having a tough time with things. Best of luck to you and your awesome gal, and I look forward to checking out your stuff on StrollerDerby!

I have loved everyone of your posts. And have been able to relate on so many levels. With my first child I was a single mom from the moment I peed on the stick. And then met a man who became her Daddy and had another child who is a week or so younger then your little girl. So hearing the stages she is on is refreshing because my is very "terribly two" right now. I wish you and beautiful Gigi all the love in the world.

Oh so sad! Take care.

Too bad, but I understand. I haven't been a heavy commenter, but I have been following this blog for a while. GiGi is adorable and beautiful and bright, and you clearly love her and want only the best for her. Best of luck with whatever you do next!

Megg, I've loved reading about your and Gigi's adventures! I'm so sad to see Love is Blind go but so glad you're not disappearing entirely. =)

Oh Megg, sorry to hear that, but since we're kinda friends now I know at least we'll keep in touch! Good luck, kisses to Gia!

Oh boo! But will definitely be checking in on your personal blog more. I heart GiGi - thank you for sharing her with us here!

Well, you gave us a delicious consolation prize...sure, you're leaving us "here", but you gave us a "There" to bookmark....and that removes the potential sadness from this note.

So, it's been a treat reading you here, and I am looking forward to hearing about your adventures with your little rock star girl over there!

re: Dear Blog, I think it’s time I say “Goodbye”

sad, sad, sad... but will definitely be jumping over to follow your adventures with your beautiful girl.

Yeah... at 19 months we are working on the no hitting and sorry thing and I think the words get said an awful lot before they sink in. But, this makes sense to me. We can't wait until they actually understand sorry to teach it. I liked the Happiest Toddler on the Block book but like Progressive Parenting and Discipline without Tears quite a bit too. Hang in there and keep blogging it all so all the rest of us can realize we're not alone in this madness!

JKS — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:10:15 GMT

My 19 month does the same fake cry! Whenever we are at the store and another child is having a crying fit (not that my little darling ever does:)Emily will look, stare and then turn to me and start fake crying! I laugh and say your not sad!, and then she just smiles. We usually do this a couple times until we are far enough away from the upset kid.

Will also gets time-out if he's doing anything that hurts self or others, just like his cousin Eddie. Although we've been refining our technique a little because a lot of his acting out is to get attention, and sometimes ignorning is more effective than battling over timeout.

The insincere "sorry" is funny. After the time-out when we're giving Will the speech about WHY he's in timeout, why he isn't allowed to do whatever he did, he repeats everything we say quietly. He's just trying to get us off his back, I know, but it's funny.

Another funny "sorry" thing is that we taught him to sign it before he could say it. But now still a year later, he signs it on the person he's apologizing to, instead of on himself.

joanie — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:41:40 GMT

OK, sometimes when my daughter fake cries (she just started a couple of months ago), I fake cry with her. Then she looks at me and stops. If she starts again, I start. But I try to do a real fake cry, just like she is -- not mock her. I have no idea if this is a terrible idea or really cruel, but it keeps me from cracking up at her. Because her fake cry is adorable!

Em — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:00:29 GMT

Not sure where you stand on this one, but my personal policy is that if you're (meaning, the kid ;)) is causing harm, they get a warning and then a time-out. Time out is only a minute or two, but Eddie seems to be catching on. At least some days.
