Amusing side note I forgot to include the other day:

When I leave from bebetime, my daughter sees me to the door after a hug and a kiss. It's a good part of the ritual that I think is helping her deal with the separation anxiety thing. A couple times in the past, I had to go back in because I forgot my water bottle inside, so then she had to see me out again. So now, she usually says, while opening the front door for me, "Got your water? Got your juice?" to make sure I didn't forget anything.

Earlier this week, I was pretty beat after a couple days of little sleep. As I was walking out the door for the car ride home, she said "you should go home and take a nap."
