Well, one tiny little woman and some of her family matriarchs. Schuyler is now becoming a real little person rather than a cute hungry blob. her eyes now focus on you intently, she flashes smiles that would end any argument (and possibly longstanding wars - i'll take her to Gaza and see if her smiles can forge a peace agreement). true, the books will tell you her smiles are just the pleasurable passing of wind but i know better. i know that smile is saying "there's trouble ahead for you, Daddy - enjoy this peace while you can".
We've had Grandma Tobe in residence for the past week which has been such an incredible help. i was even able to meet a couple of client deadlines this week for a change. Moreover, her other grandparents (known affectionately to Schuyler by the monikers "Ward" and "Kim") are now returned to these fair isles and have also helped lighten the load and fatten our stomachs with homemade soups and a beautiful dinner last night (Schuyler showed her appreciation by sleeping through the whole meal). It doesn't necessarily take a village, but it sure as heck helps when the village is there to help.
