That is the parental conundrum. You want them to be sad you're leaving them somewhere but not that much sad, no - that's too happy, nope, too sad again. A little bit sadder. A little bit happier. Little too sad. Little smile? Play with that girl there. Nope - too much play, show a small frown. Just a skosh happier.

PERFECT! Now I'll just go get in my car/bus/office and cry that you don't need me quite as much as you did yesterday.

Now my throat hurts. And moving my head at all makes my sinuses hurt.

Just allergies just allergies just allergies just allergies.

Here's to Kristin & Drew, quite possibly the world's most perfect couple! clink!

Friends of ours that we sometimes babysit for came over on NYD with their 18 month old boy. He took one look at us and burst into tears clinging to hid dad until he realized that his mom and dad were not leaving him.

Sounds to me like allergies, Hil.

Yay for little boys, Jess! Being outnumbered by the testosterone set isn't bad at all. It has been years since I have had to deal with anything yucky or heavy. Also, having a seconds boy means built in hand me downs. Fair warning, all that stuff about 12yo boy humor, it never ends, ever.

Ooh, ooh, need to go get glass of champagne!

So, has the sun set in Hawaii? Raising my glass to Kristin & Drew!

Fair warning, all that stuff about 12yo boy humor, it never ends, ever.

Heh - yeah, I figured that out from having a husband.

Dylan just had a major nightmare freakout that took about 45 minutes to calm down. I think Herschel and the Hannukah Goblins may have to be taken out of bedtime story rotation for a few days.

congrats again to Kristin and Drew!

Also, congrats to Jessica on her new baby BOY! If you need 'em, I will have clothes to send...

Congratulations, Kristin & Drew!
