Grar. So daycare is raising its rates by a significant chunk of change. Just when I thought that modest raise + cheaper daycare would give me the ability to restart my student loan payments, I get this wrench in the works. Back to the money worries tummy aches! You know those surveys that always find that parents are, like, the least happy people in the world? Yeah. Now I have money woes, worry that I've totally and irrevocably wrecked my son's sleep habits so he will never sleep peacefully EVAR, and worry that I'm Doing It Wrong with solid foods and he will never be able to eat normal foods without gagging horribly and I'll be spoon feeding him baby food when he's 5. Woe.

I do have a couple of sleep training books arriving from Amazon today, so there's possible hope on the horizon. At least, it can't get much worse than what we've got going on now. And he did eat two small bits of watermelon last night with minimal gagging. I don't get it, this kid eats goldfish, nutrigrain bars, graham cracker, and cheese crackers at daycare just fine, but try to give him a Cheerio at home and it's the end of the world.
