(another drop in the bucket… just opened the thread.) Oh. It’s full up? Well, use it for something appropriate. Or inappropriate but centered around the wee one. You know what to do. ---

For my part thanks for clearly defining the problem and what was needed for a solution. It’s nice to see the goal was a reasonable one, and even more pleased it was reached so quickly! Good stuff there Dopers! ---

\ \ Pffft!! Glad it worked out. I love this place. 🙂 And hey, there’s no such thing as too much family; the little one now has an ‘uncle and aunt’ of sorts in you and your sweetie, and just knowing there are people out there who care about her helps a ton, just as is. I promise. 🙂 And of course there’s always the option of more visits later, etc. ---
