hey B,
thanks for writing.
It really is nice to have mom here.
Really sweet how you made the room so nice for her.
I'm glad that you and Jenny could talk too.
I feel funny this morning.
It being my last day here I feel alot of diffrent emotions.
Part of me wants ballons and hugs and tears from everbuggy and the other part of me just wants to slip out and have it be just another day.
I don't know what it is about being reconginzed,seen,paid attention to that is so scary for me.
I would really like to come to peace with it and I think I slowly am.
These things take time,change takes time.
I'm like a tree sloth,slowly,slowly, careful.
I'm excited for the change in activity during daytime maybe we can have a bussiness lunch this weekend.
love,neh neh

I love it when my mom comes for a visit too, H. She brings goodies from her garden, treats we cannot afford and such warmth and love and sunny breezes. I am glad you are having such a visit. Have you considered Montessori for E? I am not sure what you are looking for, but a good friend of mine sends her son to a Montessori school in the Woodstock area and really loves it. Just a thought. Things are ok here- will write more in my journal soon. Love to you and your fam. -E

your mom

I wish I had your mom.
Let me know when and if you need some childcare.

I think ya just gotta go with what feels right. Visit a few. They're all gonna be less than your ideal-this-is-even-better-than-I-could-do-for-her situation. But, they've all got their pros and cons. I think that I'd want a place where people don't take themselves too seriously, for one. We've had trouble with that one. But the key is, it's gotta feel right to you. I think Montessori is a good choice.
