Our first year of being parents has taught us both so much, and in this episode, we want to share with you the valuable lessons we have learned. We discuss how sometimes parents just need to go with the flow and give up that need for control, the importance of reading your baby (and not a book!) and how we tend to undervalue just has smart babies are. Being new parents is a lot of hard work, but it has been such an eye-opening experience!
