Oh Mandala rofl re: "civil" war !!!!!
Wow

It does sound miraculous and really good to hear that the "object constancy" phase can be reached
Congratulations !!!!!!!!
<Blush> I'm working on the same thing but guesstamate my age to be about 3 1/2 in that particular area right now
I'm also lagging a bit behind but really think I'm begining to appreciate the "beauty" of the protector parts. I think I had some kind of major breakthrough in therapy about this last week. Ummmm

...I'm kind of hoping that my therapist doesn't see this

I hate to let her know exactly how helpful she is some times

I might have to pay her more or something.
I hope your day is going well too !!!!
