    He just turned one not too long ago, right? Are they transitioning him to a new room at daycare? When Ethan moved rooms, we had about a week of sobbing at drop off, and then he went back to being his normal happy-go-lucky self. 

    Yes, he just started full-time in the toddler room.  For the whole month of February, he spent part of the day there to ease into the change, but he would still get dropped off in the baby room.  We've had exactly one week of drop-offs in the toddler room.  The first few were fine, but yesterday he started crying as I walked out of the room, and today he started crying as soon as I sat him at the little breakfast table.

    ALSO, toddlers are grabby little buggers.  When I set James on the floor to take off his coat, they swarm us.  Yesterday one girl grabbed his tote bag full of food and sippies, another girl tried to hand me a toy phone, and a boy pet my leg.  I did better in the baby room where half the kids were still laying immobile on the floor like hams.

    It was the same for us. They transitioned him slowly, but we were still dropping him off in the infant room. Then, when he fully switched, he was fine the first one or two drop offs. Then, baam, freakouts for a week or so until he just stopped.

    That's reassuring, thanks.  Hopefully he'll be doing better soon.

    We successfully made it through the first month of charting. I'm both excited and terrified.

    As sad as I am that Ivy lost yesterday, I should probably get some work done today and tomorrow.

    Yesterday Maggie packed her backpack full of doll house toys, Jessie the cowgirl, and Chip and said "I'm going to the airport to go to Disney World. Bye!"

    then Owen started chanting "DISNEY WORLD! DISNEY WORLD! DISNEY JUNIOR DOT COM!" 

    We need to go back ASAP.

    Yeah, when we took airfare into account, it was actually cheaper than a few of the non-Disney locations we were considering.  We're staying at Wilderness Lodge this time.  Hopefully we won't regret the lack of monorail access.

    Not the meat of black people.  I'm pretty sure that's illegal now.

  • There isn't a single Indian restaurant in my entire city. It pains me. We have a total of 737 catfish places and 439 country buffets though. There is actually decent Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese as well as amazing seafood, but I want Indian food, dammit.

    I am so excited for you, lindsay!  Normally I hope people have one of each, but I'll be pulling for you to have another girl.  

    During my run the other day, I was listening to the lyrics of Ignition Remix by R. Kelly and the line where he says, "It's like murder she wrote once I get you out of them clothes," and I started pondering whether he was saying he wants to sleep with Angela Landsbury or that he wants to kill the woman. 

    I think I'm going to have to make chicken tikka masala this weekend because you guys are bastards.  Since my H won't eat it, I'll have lots of leftovers to freeze.

    I'm working from home again today, and for some reason my work screen won't maximize so it's only taking up about 1/3rd of my monitor.  It's forcing me to do a lot of scrolling.

    No, it's not that -- it's that the window that is showing me my workscreen is teeny tiny and won't expand.  It says to hit ctrl-alt-break to make it full screen, but it's not doing anything.  It's full of lies.

  • Sean had a fever for the past two days and broke out in the croup overnight. He came to bed with us around 1 but in the interest of Dan getting some sleep befire work I got up with him at about 4 and went to the couch. It sounds so horrible. This week has been exhausting. He's extra clingy, I haven't been able to trade with Mouse because of sickness in one house or another, and I'm losing my mind. I'm just letting him watch as much TV and play as much on the Kindle Fire as his sickly little heart desires. And I don't even feel guilty about it.

    This uninteresting whiny screed has been brought to you by 3 hours of sleep.

    <snip>Last weekend we went out for dinner with one of H's former coworkers and her husband.  They have 2 kids.  On Saturday, H set up a lunch date for us with one of the other families from daycare.  I appreciate his efforts and realize that it's good for us to make friends with kids, but I hate the process of doing it.  It just feels like we're using what little leisure time we have to have awkward conversations with strangers.

    And we are the exact opposite. Mr. Mod and I are now eagle-eyed for acquaintances that don't have kids that we can become friends with. We identify them. We watch quietly for a few weeks (like a bear stocking prey because WE BEARS). We discuss and we decide to make an effort to become friends with them. So far there is a 100% success rate of those couples becoming pregnant within 6 mos of initial identification. So, if want to have a kid, just get on Mr. Mod's and my shortlist. It's a fertility booster I tell ya.

    Poor Sean. We've avoided croup so far but it seems just miserable. TV and cuddles sounds just about right, no reason to feel guilty about that. Hope he is better soon.

    If you can get Mr. Caliman out of the videogame room long enough to move to san francisco it is possible. Our newest non-child having friends are due in August, so it's time to pick a new couple.

  • The movers are here. They loaded all of the place to sit in the truck first. So I'm sitting on the floor in the corner nursing the baby. 

    Dawg, my kid has pooped with the diaper off twice. It's amazing, like a stream of poo just shooting across the room. She hit my mom both times. I have to remember to thank her for that.
