Ärende: keeping cool
====================
Hi Hap,

->  hn> Quick thinker, that girl....think I'll keep her! (grin)

-> I would if I were you. (G)  You already know what she likes and doesn't
-> like food & drink wise so you don't have to worry about what to cook for
-> her.

 hn> After almost 36 years, we've certainly gotten past
 hn> the adjustment stage (grin).

We hit the 33 year mark just before I came out to LV; I've got Steve
mostly figured out but he occasionally throws a surprising curve ball at
me.

-> -> Well, we have another one, Amanda's age, still single.  She likes to
-> -> play the part of spoiler to her nephew  (and now niece).

->  hn> Has she been by to see the Sarah yet?

-> She did when Sarah was only a few hours old.  Rachel & David had gone to
-> the hospital the night before to get ready for an inducton.  About 5 am
-> David called to say that the birth would soon.  Steve & I took off about
-> 40 minues later, just missed the actual birth (6:19) by about 5 minutes.
-> Deborah brought Robert down a few hours later.

 hn> How are things now? Adjusting to the new
 hn> addition going smoothly? Robert's old enough
 hn> now that he can "help" a bit and watching after
 hn> two isn't quite as difficult as when both are
 hn> still in diapers.

Things are going fairly well.  Robert will go back to school (preschool)
tomorrow.  Getting him back into that routine will help him.  He's had a
few questions and issues but seems to be over all quite accepting that
baby sister is here to stay.  He seems to fight most of his battles over
food, liking something one time and not another.  But, that will change
as his taste buds mature.

I had 2 in diapers for a while.  It was rough on me but we all lived
thru it.  The girls are 20 months, 2 weeks apart; Robert & Sarah are
about 7 weeks short of 5 years apart.  Rachel was too young to be of
much real help but Robert has been quite a help at times.  He's also old
enough to entertain himself.

->  hn> You know what they say....
->  hn> People who live in Glass Houses....
->  hn> Should shower with their clothes on! (grin)
 hn> ->
-> And people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones (in the
-> ceiling).
 hn> ->
 hn>  ah yes, there is that too!

So don't try it already.

Catch you later,
