Experts

I approach every change in my life the same way. I research. Sleep schedules? Check. Breastfeeding? Check. Temper tantrums? Check. Solid food introduction? Check. It gives me the illusion of control which I find comforting when facing a major life transition of which I am unsure. I can at least sound like I know what I'm doing when I can quote the material that I memorized on the subject. But who am I kidding? I'm not an expert on anything really. Besides, what does that word really mean anyway? A doctor recently told me that if you call yourself an expert, it is really an excuse to quit learning. So I guess I am in progress. Isn't that enough?
