Thanks so much for the comments on my post about taking Little H to work with me. I thought I’d pop in and post a quickie update 
She woke up at 5am. I thought for sure I was screwed. But she was a complete angel ALL DAY. I couldn’t believe it. It was like she was a different child. She sat in her stroller for the longest amount of time she’d ever been in her stroller. She amused herself by snacking on bananna and goldfish crackers while watching a myriad of Baby Einstein videos (I don’t normally use TV to babysit my kid so please don’t blast me over it….this was a special situation).
She even napped in her stroller.
My teleconference went fine. I got my project completed. I changed two poopie diapers on my desk as coworkers passed my office window with looks of sympathy and understanding. Everyone appreciated the above and beyond effort that went into planning a day with a 15 month old at work.
I couldn’t have asked for it to go better and it was nice showing my boss that my new mommyhood status doesn’t change my abilities to perform.
Now, if I can get her on the payroll somehow we’ll be set!!

Ok, anonymous above was me. Not sure why I was anonymous, but oh well!
Children can be angels sometimes. When they want to be. She’s probably “angling” for some special treatment in the future.
Yay that the day went so well!!
Sweet! Glad it went so well.
That’s wonderful. Sometimes the planets align and the kids behave wonderfully when it really counts.
I was actually reading this article last night which talks about people bringing babies to work, the pros and the cons.
