And, as if that wasn't enough, after cofee, Phat Daddy asked if I would like to go to the mall and Christmas shop.
Off we went to the mall. Our family of 4.
We spent 3 hours there, got everything that we were looking for .... on sale.
In 3 hours Phat Daddy and I didn't argue once
Doodle didn't have one temper tantrum (and we didn't buy him any toys).
Princess didn't even cry.
We even managed to stop at the Starbucks drive-thru on the way home. Pushing our luck maybe, but still no tears.
And now we're having a bit of a toss up around here. Phat Daddy is staying home alone with the baby, in hopes that she'll take a bottle from him.
Doodle is playing lego with his uncle, and I'm going Christmas shopping with my nieces.
I'm hoping it all works out!
Oh, and if anyone has any super weaning tips please send them my way. We've tried everything and the baby refuses a bottle. We're getting hard core around here because I need a break, and I need to know that she will take a bottle BEFORE we have the nanny start.

Try using a sippy cup instead of a bottle. My little one never did take a bottle (and I didn't completely wean when I went back to work). He was fine when I was away, drank water and ate lots of food, and then would nurse when I came home.
As well, be sure it's someone other then you that gives her the bottle. Will your nanny start before you go back to work? Let her figure it out, as well - you'll be surprised what "other" people can get our kids to do!!
Good luck!
