Yeah, I know about the thinking your child was just so secure with you that

they needed no security object. None of my kids had security objects

except, well, Putter.

And they were the Tank Engine trains.

Mixed results on the sleep, I see. I do understand about letting Matt sleep

more so it doesn't drive you nuts today. Oh, well.

Oh Sara, welcome to the hell that is my life ;-)

Andy is absolutely, completely and utterly fixated with The

Tank and all things too. In our family, Andy has blessed us

all with character names... I am Toby, he's Mavis etc etc. He has

developed more language since the obsessions with afore mentioned

engine began BUT I hate the bloody thing! My house is FULL of

stuff/videos/books/track/cranky the crane/more track/more engines and

to top it all of we are going to see the The tank Live Action

Show. Whoopdedoo !! Someone please call the men in white coats

pleeeeeeeeeze (we don't have Calgon in the Uk ;-) )

Yes, well, I've been ignoring that part.

That is *exactly* it. Oh, good, I'm not insane.

Matt got up with Gabe at 6:30, and I slept till almost noon. 5 whole hours

of solid sleep!!! I am still exhausted but I feel a lot better. The Black

Pit of Despair isn't looming today.

Thanks.
