I love this forum, dare I say because it feels nice for my child to be "normal" in a group. Being a singularity is exhausting.

There are many things I do not say to anyone anywhere for that very reason. This is/was especially true regarding dd's very early babyhood. Her 1st year of life was so surreal. I sometimes do not believe what I saw and heard, and I was there.

Now it is getting to feel normal to me. dd3 is just another one of the decision makers of our house.
