We have been apart before but this time dh is coming home after 14 months. When he left dd was 2.5 and still very much a baby (diapers, crib, etc). Now she is 3.5 running around talking in full sentences, potty trained, full size bed, and favorite phrase is I want to do it myself.

    Thank you both. I really needed to hear all of that more than you can imagine. When DD was younger I always said unless DH was doing something that could be physically dangerous even if it wasn't "my" way I would let it go. Now with a sassy 3.5 year old t
