Two of my toddlers aged out and I've got two infants right now so's I can grow some more toddlers. One is 7 mos and transitioned in smoothly. The other is 10 mos, we're at the end of our first full-time week, and separation anxiety is running the show. They're doing that thing where every exhalation is a whine. We're on a nap- and food-strike that breaks once a day to refuel for more complaining. Yesterday they explored and played . . . while grumbling constantly for 45 minutes without a pause.

The other kids are on edge, I'm overeating, and I can't wait until we get to the point where Miss Pestle's house isn't the WORST THING that has EVER HAPPENED. Being a baby is hard.
