This month was a hard one for everyone. Lots of teething (now 5-7 teeth), separation anxiety only remedied by a heavy dose of Mom, and leaving our nanny share due to the cutthroat nature of Portland daycare (if we passed at our opportunity, we’d not have a daycare opening until Fall 2022 at the earliest, which we can’t afford financially or mentally).
