I Don't Like Mondays

[forward]

I am sorry that you are dealing with this with such a young child. I was there.

I can tell you this: I know it's cliche, but your D will grow up so fast, you won't know what hit you.

So if you have chance to be with D, I would advise you to take the opportunity. All the cute (and not-so-cute) stuff she is doing now is going to go away so fast. I didn't do a lot of things--not much socializing, just spending time w/D. And I don't regret it. She needed me. Now she is older and doesn't need me in the same ways.

I think 2 is a particularly astonishing age. A child who has just turned 2 is completely different from a child about to turn 3. So far, with my D, no age has had quite such amazing growth and progress.

Spend as much time with her as you can and don't worry about X.
