Within the past few months my morning routine has changed significantly. In the past, W was up many days before six. When he woke up he was wired and ready to be fetched from his crib. Now he slowly rises and plays with the toy cars that he takes to bed. As soon as I [...]

(Part 1, Part 2, and this Part 3 will be the last bit about the conference.) After waiting in line to get a copy of my photo with the Sesame Street muppets it was time to book it up to the room to get ready for the best and most important part of the BlogHer [...]
