Now I Know

"Now I Know", a series on parenting by Tracy Morris, first appeared on Moms Online, part of the Oxygen Media network (http://oxygen.com), and is reprinted here with permission.

Tracy Morris is a social worker, writer, and now Mom to son Tobias, whose arrival came after years of infertility and four miscarriages. Tracy works out of her home in Texas, where she lives with her son, an elderly dog, a timid toothless cat, and squirrels in the trees.

Prior to being a WAHM, Tracy's professional experience encompassed the fields of substance abuse prevention, residential adolescent psychiatric treatment, foster care, battered women's shelters, HIV services, and hospitals -- all of which may explain why, second only to playing with Toby, her favorite activity is "being alone with her computer.""
