share ur meeting
experiences with ur little one in a fun way
so they always know where you are and how
important it is to them and the family.
Yeah, my sponsor can be a bit opinionated! She really pushed the issue, so I brought her to a meeting this morning. My sponsor also brought her daughter, who is 8. I spent an hour of the hour and a half meeting playing outside with my daughter because she just wanted to be free to run around and was fussing in the meeting. It was a total waste of time and effort for me to take her! (And it takes quite a bit of effort, pre-planning, and packing to take a toddler somewhere for a few hours!) My sponsor told me afterwards that she thought my daughter was behaving fine and that I overreacted. But I don't think I'll attempt it again until she's older or my husband is with us and we can take turns or something.
Your last paragraph is really what I'll be trying to accomplish when she's older.
