Oh. I remember that stress. I remember being terrified when we put 
her in a car seat to take her home - she was so little, it just 
didn't seem right.

Now she's a 13 year old, 5'7" hard-as-twisted-blue-steel black belt 

that doesn't give us a minute's peace(and the music! Those rockers 
are so angry!).

The second child is much less stressful. He's 10 already, so maybe 
it's just my memory fading. :0)

The very best of luck to you and your family. I like to avoid 
cliches, but it's the hardest job you'll ever love.
