Also known as: In which I totally prove how NOT calm I really am. So, today, we’re at this cafe/playspace. Wait, let me back up. So, this morning, Jonah wakes up screaming at 4:30 a.m. I go in, he’s soaked through his diaper, his pajamas. I take the offending items off him. The diaper weighs . . . → Read More: in which another mother totally reads me the riot act So far, we’d seen him take two steps completely unassisted, maybe twice.
