I have absolutely NO IDEA what changed between yesterday and today. Today I had the most wonderful time with Raquel - no tantrums (maybe one or two but extremely mild). She even went to work with me so I was able to sit in on our brief production meeting. I miss being at work - a lot.
Last night, after telling Mike about my day, he gave me some really great advice. Mike is the best when it comes to redirecting Raquel during her difficult times - just by changing the scenery, playing music, bringing her outside or to see our dog, etc. Raquel is definitely "Daddy's Girl". He has a game plan when it comes to her outbursts. I'm learning a lot from that and am working on developing my own.

What a cute picture! I want a copy.
Do you think now that you have your blog we can talk Pop into getting a computer?
Sorry Nita,
The post was from your sister Charlie, not mom. I guess I'm using the same account I use when I post on Lauren's blog. I'll see if I can change it.

I figured that out. It was kind of weird because that was something Mom would have said!! :-)
As far as the computer goes for Pop, who is going to volunteer teaching him how to use the thing? Dani still has to go over there and turn on the answering machine!

I think this is awesome that you are blogging about Raquel. I am sure many moms going though similar situations will find a lot of info and comfort here.
Thanks, Alice. Nice to hear from you. Hope you are feeling well, my friend! I think about you lots.
