I was away from the boys for the majority of the day today - a first and a mock trial of what it will be like come April 21 when I return to work. Matthew managed both boys well. Adlai drank from the frozen milk supply and I took my pump and sat in a private room listening to that oh-so-familiar mechanical wheezing. I really like work but I'm going to miss being home something awful.

Adlai has made a few changes in his life this week. First, his fear of strangers completely disappeared. That all stopped when the cute flight attendants asked to hold him on our flight to Seattle. He did cry twice this week when Simon left the room. Second, he has started grabbing my hair and pulling. Ouch. Third, he decided that he has had enough of the plastic boobs and wants the real thing. As you may recall, we had some nursing challenges that were solved using plastic "shields" and he quickly became addicted to them. No more falsies for him which makes less work for me (having had to carry the things around and keep them clean has not been ideal).
