I had wondered about that too but decided, we've told him and now we'll
start dealing with the reality. It had to be done sooner or later. My gut
wasn't screaming at me that it was a bad idea so I went with it.

Yes and yes. I said more than I would have if Alex DIDN'T know but I timed
many comments on Molly's level on concentration on other things or walking
away from the table. Even knowing she might call me on it later.......and
wondering is she's still processing and it may pop out yet. Again, figured
if it happened it was time to deal with it.

 Some days it seems like 12 going on 21. Shy she's not!

He is much more quiet than his sib. Even more so in that type of
situation--busy and noisy. Alex is rarely a chatterbox though.

We could work that out. Given my kids upcoming schedules (cripes--it's
before school starts yet it feels as if we're already there between 2 camps,
tryouts etc) I'll prob be without kids myself. We could just pass Keren
around and chat. :-)

Let us know what time of day works for you without kids and we'll go from
there. Guess it's time to go off-list again! lol
