Kate,
Hooray for getting in to the speech clinic. They must be used to toddlers who don't follow orders, right?
And I have a strong dislike of pre-school teachers who like to get 3.5 y.o.'s evaluated. Give me a break! (This isn't the first time I've heard it, sadly.)
I was another hands-free pumper. Made me feel like a cog in the system even more than the pump did to start with, but being able to turn magazine pages was worth it. And how often do you get to keep rubber bands in your bra for a good reason? Don't miss the opportunity.
Thanks, everyone. I was feeling alone--who knew there were enough of us to start a club? And thanks for the links, Liz. As soon as the sweet baboo drifts off, I'm off to grab my credit card. I've been turning pages with my toes, or just zoning out to tv, which I'm getting VERY tired of.
