The going-away ritual is best when it isn't "Mommy's going bye-bye now" but rather something like you walk Em over to an activity table and start a drawing or stack of blocks or something and reassure her that you're coming back later. Something like that. Eventually the process of going to the table will become reassuring and if you're consistent your child won't try to play the situation because it's just inevitable.
This would be awesome, but the teacher gets her from the front door and takes her back.
I didn't even stay that long when they were in their crying phase, Hec. I walked them in the door, kissed them, then said goodbye before they took off their coats. On days I failed to do that, the teacher said the crying lasted longer.
Well, I do concur that hanging around makes the separation worse.
Can anyone go to half.com and see if they can find a contact e-mail address to half.com? I'm about to strangle them. I've gotten 15 notification e-mails today about ONE sale. And, I can't find any way to contact them.
vw, there's a contact us link. I'm not a member, so it brings me to a page where I have to sign in, but maybe you'll have some luck with it: [link]

Hi all
I'm home right now becuse they needed someone to pull a weird shift, as the normal shiftees are unavailable.
Instead of my normal 9:30-7, I get to go in at 3:30 pm and stay at work until 1am. The last five hours? Alone at a helpdesk.
Yeesh.
Fake a thick accent, Daniel.
ION, I just got a package from the "Pepsi fulfillment center" inside of which are four 20-ounce bottles of Diet Pepsi, one each of regular diet, diet wild cherry, diet with lime, and Diet Jazz with strawberries and cream.
The last one somehow makes me cringe.
Ont he other hand, WTF? Sending bottles of pepsi through UPS? Wouldn't coupons have been cheaper?
Oh yes, and they had four coupons for $1 off multipacks or two-liter bottles.
