Find another babysitter for that interview, even if you have to grab a teenager or granny from the neighborhood to bring her along and walk the baby in the stroller outside the building.  Seriously, I would have a hard time...

Agreed!  Well worth the trip!  She helped me get over the final hurdles with my first son, over seven years ago now.

Hi Amy,   This is the experience I was hoping for with Avalon, and if not for my son's pesky cord issues, I would have gotten it I think.  I came very close.   Morristown has one tub room, and one portable...
