Forgot about these pictures. Here's Den just before he left for Las Vegas. Ed was ultra giggly.

This is Ed on Monday. He does this thing lately where he will wake up from his nap, then when you go to pick up him, he falls asleep on your shoulder again. I put him down in the living room.

This is today. I just couldn't resist. Looked even cuter earlier in the nap --but this is plenty cute. He's been sleeping 2 hours. Yikes!
Oh--bad mama, I almost forgot. Today was Ed's first day of nursery school. He did fine. He didn't cry when I left, that I know of and the teacher said he really "opened up" in the afternoon and interacted with the other kids. I take that to mean that he was a bit overwhelmed the first couple hours and just kind of stood around, mouth agape.
I wasn't prepared for the guilt and self-doubt I experienced in dropping him off. He really is a fun kid. I worried about 18 months being too young to put him through such trauma. Then I came home and got so much done that I didn't really worry again :) When I went to pick him up, he was thoroughly engrossed with whatever he was playing with, and I had to get down right in front of him to get his attention. They are supposed to nap while there (it runs 10-2, which is a goofy time, if you ask me), but he and 3 other of the 8 kids didn't nap, so now he is napping. What a bonus for me in terms of getting stuff done.

One of the mama-dons of the local toddler mafia has a well-worked-out theory of how preschool is actually *good* for kids. She's extremely convincing.
That didn't keep her from being a weepy mess the first day she left her three-month-old at daycare so she could teach her classes. Even if it was only for three-and-a-half hours.
More good pics. I'm tired & want to curl up next to sleeping Eddie. From City of Sin and 2nd-handsmoke. Dad
