Crying

Lauren started to cry this morning when I went to work. She hasn’t done this before. Maybe it’s because I’ve been looking after her alone for the last two nights (Claire was volunteering on Tue, then college on Wed), and she’s got more used to me being there. Or maybe an extra neuron grew in her brain overnight and she can do this now.

In other news, the final stage of our Green Card application reached the INS this week. They will then issue us a receipt date (though this can take a few weeks). Once we have that date we start counting – in 90 days Claire can be paid for work, and in another 90 days I can self-sponsor (which basically means I have the Green Card, though it can take another 6 months before I technically have it).
