Finally, after a year of me asking when he was going to do it! I love that you can't wait for him to get home so you can tell him to call the Dr, lol. Meh, he didn't share my excitment. I called to tell him. His response, "I'll call tomorrow". Ah, tomorrow will turn into...

Yup American Thanksgiving here today. Many places close early on Wed and then don't reopen til Monday. This is a WAY bigger holiday re: work closings than Xmas here. Also, they are based in Connecticut, I think. Not too far from me. It's where they live anyway. A friend of a friend lives in the same town as Melissa & Doug and says they have 6 kids, each with his/her own nanny. And they have 3 SUVs and 2 kid/nanny pairings go...

We actually started using one maybe about a month ago? It was based on a thread on here actually and the recommendation of Ikea's small pillow. My kid actually sleeps on it!! It's pretty flat so there's no worry. Check one out if you can IB! I had it in the wash the other day so he napped without it which is good that he hasn't become terribly attached to it, but if it's there he'll use it.

Ohhh that's awesome news Sara! Congratulations!

Happy Birthday Oscar! He's super cute!

My DS is just 3.5, but the Geotrax we have he doesn't use anymore, it's just too young for him. He did get an Imaginarium Train set last year (a la Thomas, but cheaper) and we are planning on FINALLY setting it up for him this year.

I can just answer the last question.. Quote: Is pre-school a necessity? No, it's not a necessity. It's great for some kids, but preschool is more about the social aspect and learning routines..

luvnlife - Great to see you. I am sorry things are rough with DH...Honestly isn't it amazing how we bury stuff. Glad to hear you are starting to get it out. As for Jo - Call her, call her...I would be nervous but if you will do it, I will cheer you on! Lol! I so miss her. Pictures - gotta do it! Sunshineblueskies - men hate doctors! Ami- Big decisions but great reasons for them. Can't wait to meet you little boy in a couple of...

Wow! I didn't apply to your original post because I'm totally in a transitional place too, but congratulations! That's great

If it makes you feel better--My husband was working in the states. Anyways the day he came home my 7 month old who hasn't seen this man for 3.5 months smiles and says, "Daddy"..Seriously WTF?! She didn't say mama until she was 9 months old.
