Babies becoming big kids, from API's "Inspired Mothers" celebration

Last week, my husband and I went out to dinner and a movie, while my mom put our toddler to bed. To many families, this might not be a big deal, but no one other than me had ever put her to bed before. My mom let her stay up an hour past her usual bedtime, so my husband and I drove around until my mom texted us that our daughter was asleep and we could come in.

API Leader and mother of 1, Alexis Schrader shares how giving her daughter presence helps her process her mixed emotions surrounding her toddler's budding independence.
