I'd come back from a leisurely lunch with a girlfriend. had to pick up something orange for harper to wear today (wear something orange day). I check my office phone and there are quite a few messages. The last one was harper's school. "Mrs. Lawson, harper has been crying, screaming and downright inconsolable, just wanted you to know" I hear her wailing in the background . My phone then rings, jonathan: hey babe, did you get a message from harper's school? me: Yes, I am just picking it up. where are you? jonathan: I am downstairs in front of your building. I pack up my work, remember to grab the milk and we are on our way. We get there and she looks so damn pitiful, like she's been crying for hours. she's sitting on one of the teachers laps and when she sees jonathan and I she shoots us a bright smile. really harp. were you testing to see how long it would take to get to you?

what seems to be the problem? i feel around in her mouth. perhaps it's the top teeth coming in, since the bottom two have officially arrived. i feel nothing. she doesn't have a fever (they checked).

we take her home and i proceed to work from home, using my foot to bounce her in the bouncy chair. I nurse her, she poohs and then she out like a light in the bouncy chair. could it have been gas? so peaceful. i finish out the day and literally a 5:30 when it's time to wrap it up, she wakes up. she must have known.
