“My brain is an encyclopedia of information relevant to my child,” writes Becky Vieira today. “His schedule, the foods he currently loves and the ones he loathes, when he needs to see the dentist next, the size of clothes he’s wearing right now and how close he is to moving into the next, and even what his teacher’s favorite color is so that he can draw her a birthday card that ‘will make her smile.’ Oh, and how could I forget the science fair project and opening day of Little League?” Her husband, on the other hand, “knows that our son goes to school Monday through Friday, his birth date, and the fact that he’s starting Little League ‘soon.’” Sound familiar? Well, she’s ready to lay down some of that mental load. I bet you are, too. Read it to find out where she’s starting. Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
