I dropped off DS at daycare today. Oh the waterwork from the little guy! I don't know how my hubby does it. He's so sad when it comes to time for me to leave.
Milk strike continues. I fed him at daycare and asked the lady to take over so he gets used to her too. As soon as he was transferred to her, he was squirming and crying. She gave him back to me and he went back to happily chugging away and playing with the ruffles on my top. Little guy went the whole day yesterday without a drop of milk again. I'm getting desperate and don't know what to do! He woke twice last night for milk cos he didn't eat enough during the day. Now I'm yawning at work...
I hate that he's not drinking milk at daycare. Could you give DCP a jacket that smells like you, or something, so L understands this other milk giver has the momma seal of approval? When do you get to switch daycares? Maybe L is also picking up on the fact that you & H don't trust his current daycare.

Has anyone seen in the news that next year some states' drivers licenses won't qualify as valid ID for domestic travel in the US? For example, Louisiana doesn't offer a DL that includes proof of citizenship / legal US residency, so I'd have to use a passport to fly even within the US. Huh?

I feel the shirt probably isn't going to help much, but I'll give it a try. I was standing right there with him when he squirmed and cried in the DCP's lap. I've never seen him like that before. He's been fed by our friends and family that he doesn't know, he took his milk just fine with everybody. He starts at the new place 2 weeks from today. I scaled back his solids to 2 tbsp yesterday and he was hungry enough to take only 2oz at 2pm. I debated to drop solids altogether today, but I worry he might be starving. Tomorrow I'm going to try the sippy cup. He's terrible with the cup though, milk would be all over his top instead of going into his tummy.
He has so much anxiety while at daycare. When he sees me there, he needs me to pick him up immediately. If I say hi to him from afar but not going to him immediately, he cries. If I go to him, touching him but not picking him up, he cries. If I pick him up and have him facing out while sitting in my lap, he cries. If I put him back down to gather his stuff, he cries. He just wants me to hug him and let him put his arms around my neck.
I'm seriously considering taking 2 weeks off work to get him into a better routine before he starts at the new place.

Yup. The federal government had been trying to implement the real ID system for a decade now and have given states a ten year warning that a proof of citizenship will be required for flying among other activities. All but 4 states and one territory I believe have upgraded their drivers licenses to meet the guidelines in time. I think it is pretty crappy that citizen a of the 5 states aren't properly notified. I know pkent of people who don't own a passport.

yeah... thanks Jindal. Apparently, there was even a bill option to let people have the option, like you could get the fancy/real id one, or not... That bill was vetoed by our wonderful governor. So, now.. i have to carry my passport to fly to florida. thanks!
I have to check my passport and make sure it is not expired since I have a trip to Orlando next Feb.
cloe111479, DH today booked tickets to Orlando in Feb : ) In laws have a timeshare, and all the places on the coast/islands were booked, so Orlando it is, and the week available is LO's bday. So, breakfast with Micky it is!

Cool! When? I'll be there for princess 1/2 marathon weekend 2/18-2/22... I think.
Jan 30th through end of the first week in Feb. cloe111479,
Aw.... That's a great time very low crowds
Yup, I agree. We went middle January once. It was great weather (a little chilly at night) and hardly any crowds. How fun for you! I would like to go next year. This disney talk got me all excited!

Wow PikoPiko, that is really hard. It sounds like he doesn't trust the daycare workers either. If it were me, I'd follow my gut here and, if I could, take the time off or work from home until the new day care (or if there is family or friends who can help). You've really tried, maybe he's trying to tell you something.
I really hope the new daycare works out and he is happy there.
WittyLittle glad you gave us an update! Glad Jake is on the mend. I can't imagine a baby so young getting communion at any church I've been to.
Thanks, I always like confirmation that I am not indeed an over protective crazy lady. That and on medication. I'm still livid. Totally livid. I'm glad to be back I get my new phone contract next Monday also, so I will be back as normal soon
