Actually the daycare switch happend when he was 1 and we didn't separate until he was 2 1/2. So I think it was mostly just him traversing the chasm of separation anxiety.

I meant that the seperation anxiety went on for two and a half years. (I've clarified the post a bit I think)

Raq, I love all of Mal's Christmas pictures. He looks so happy and totally adorable. I meant to post this morning that I empathize with the messy baby thing. Too bad they can't go from breastmilk to potty trained. (eta: and Legion looks cute in his ribbons)

Plei, I'm sorry to hear Lily's still having such a hard time at daycare. Ellie went through a short phase like that (like maybe for 10 days or so) but I'm now pretty sure it was mostly because she was teething and therefore had less tolerance for life in general. I wish I had some great advice.

In Ellie-land, my parents are visiting. Joe and I are getting ready for dinner in a restaurant alone tomorrow night. If all goes well, we will leave Ellie for the night on Sunday night. I'm a bit anxious about the whole thing, but my mom is really good with her. Ellie also now refuses the bottle totally (I could kick myself for letting that habit slide) but she will drink from a sippy cup.

KB, that's great news. Just desserts.

And just to show I'm not *all* about babies...

KB, that's great news about the check. I'm glad you can at least do something. That was such an awful story. Now if only Daniel could get some good news about his situation.

And MG, what is up with those people you work for? I'm glad you got the raise, but I wish they would sort everything out for you.

This poist seems to be all about bad work situations. I'm just a one-topic girl today.

The little bitch side of me wants to march into my program managers office and say "Well, you got what you wanted."

I'm glad I keep my diazapam (valium) in the car.

Non-tragedy: I missed Aslan at McDonalds. I have all the other Narnians. If a Bitch could hook me up I'd be deeply appreciative.

Fun thing: My middle sis is getting married. For bride's maid dresses she's thinking [link]

what colour?

Celadon

The Ann Taylor site froze my window up, so I didn't get time to really look at the colors, but the dress is elegant, Trudy. Best wishes to your sister and her intended.

Plei, Lilly's just too smart. I wonder where she gets that from?

I love my diaper site. I just bought 156 diapers, 800 wipes, and 2 huge tubes of Desiten for $73.
