With second daughter, everything should be easier. It's not. Daisy slept through the night at 11 weeks. Birdie took longer. Toddler Daisy took super fantastic naps. Two years younger Birdie quit napping when Daisy quit. Daisy quickly got caught at whatever mischief she found; Birdie developed a stealth approach to trouble. Now, Birdie and I are starting the college search. Already Biride has put her own stamp on looking. Only one college that Daisy considered is on Birdie's list, and that's just barely. Over spring break, Birdie and I will blaze through four colleges in four states in four days. Together we will experience tedious road time, fast food and cheap motels. I will fork over the credit card for expensive gas; I hope Birdie will pump the gas. Each campus will impress us, after all it's springtime. And statistics of what they all have offer will blend together. I know we will have a great road trip. That's the bonus that comes with second daughter. Nothing is as serious as first time around and everything is just as much fun--except for that wait to sleep through the night.
