Thought it might be fun to see who all here is going to the LLLI conference next month in Chicago. Has a thread like this already been started?

I'll be flying from Florida to Chicago and will be there July 20-23 (Fri-Mon). I'll be going by myself. My husband and two kids (ages 6 and 2.5) will stay home in Florida.

I am jealous of any of you mammas who are going. I so wish I could go too.
I was in Washington and it was awesome. This one is going to be really special.

I am with one of my co-leaders (I'm very proud to be able to say co-leader - just got my accreditation June 1!!!!).

So excited!

Is this something you need to register in advance for or anything? Or just show up?

I doubt it will completely sell out but there are a good number of sessions that are already closed. Go to http://www.llli.org

Congrats on your accreditation! My 3 year anniversary is coming up later this summer.

I'll be there too! I'm SO EXCITED to hear Dr. Sears (Bill) speak!! His Fussy Baby Book was my bible when my oldest was little. That and Nighttime Parenting.

I hope yall have a blast!!

 

[mommy2caroline]

We'll be there too... dh has to stay home and work, but my parents volunteered (when I asked them

) to drive up with me and help entertain my 2 year old while I attend sessions. I'm excited - never been to an Int'l conf, but the last two state conferences here were great - so I'm really looking forward to it!!!

 

[KJoslyn78]

i wish i were going!! Our local LLL leaders are going - so i cant wait to hear about it when she/they get back

I am really going to try and attend the one in western NY in october though
