I was just wrapping up my lab meeting when Alex's nanny called me. I could hear the baby wailing, very close to the phone. She said that Alex had been crying all morning - didn't seem especially sicker, just "doesn't want to be here with me." She apologized profusely.

So now I'm home. Alex grinned and wiggled when I walked in the door, and then clung like a limpet, fussing, while I paid the nanny and sent her off. I gave her a little Pedialyte and tried to settle her for a nap, but she was having none of it. Now she's playing serenely on the floor. I could almost think that I came home for no reason, if it weren't for the way she looks up and checks on me every few seconds.

She doesn't seem sicker, but I guess she still needs Extra Mom.
