My mom bought me the first book (in hardcover) when I was pregnant with Andrew, and he was 8 months old when the toddler book came out, so I truly felt like she was writing these books for me! I remember emailing her a thank you when Andrew was about 4 months old and she responded (!!!talk about exciting!!!) From the day I found the site I was hooked (though I have taken breaks here and there). Her books made me a better mom and the online community I have found here over the last 5 years has grown in exponential numbers, a testament to her knowledge! This site has seen so much growth over the last 5 years (old timers remember the days before the chat room on "petunia", when Tracy would join us there (!!!), the time when we didn't have PM boxes, or even a "Toddler" section!) and I am truly proud to have been a part of it.
Thank you, Tracy. You are missed.
