@mogulmama Miggy???? Blake??? Over the perfectly acceptable and respectable Vincent??? Next time he brings up Miggy start singing "he's got the moves like Jagger" and for Blake, ask him if he's a big fan of William Blake or if Gossip Girl was so influential in his life that he intends to name...

@tali26 I think it's perfectly normal to worry - especially considering he was a preemie and started out so vulnerable. The first few daycare plagues are not pleasant, neither for the children nor for the parents, but it does get easier! I delayed sending my child to nursery to avoid the height...
