Not having kids myself, this is a little scary as we have been considering it (the whole having kids thing, I mean). DoctorDude won't be able to handle it. I won't be able to handle it. I can barely handle the puppy. Me scared. Wow. Not having kids myself, this is a little scary as we have been considering it (the whole having kids thing, I mean).

She's currently at a preschool "program" at a local athletic club where they do rotations of swimming, gymnastics, art, & stories every morning. She'll also be having dance camp, art camp, and science camp. Yes, I have turned into one of those mothers I used to hate. :-) But with no family around for 1000+ miles, this is literally the only way I can get a break without putting her in a daycare center. This way, she gets a few hours of activities she enjoys in addition to social time with other kids. And I get a few hours of time to myself so I don't go insane! Hang in there!

I have a similar 2-yo-old and my lord, is he demanding! He is quite the talker already & will repeat something until you acknowledge it. "Yes, that is a big truck. You're right. I DO see it. YES!!" And the whining for milk I think would go on until he literally lost his voice. And even then, he'd find some way to get his point across until he gets what he wants. Oh, I empathize with you.
