thanks (((((((((Waiting2heal, Katie)))))))))))))) I'm right at the end of 8 months with T and this is the first she's met any of the alters. i know some have been there prior, but not speaking to her or letting her know they were there. Lil miss Owlet kept the scarf on her all day today that she had with her yesterday in T. T had commented on the horse stuffy and the scarf (as "a nice soft cloth") and somehow that was like a balm to get through today. I never wear a scarf all day - this was a first. There was no parting with it (and it's not small, it's one of those that are really wide and long to make a shall). At one point when I was hot i tried to remove it, and owlet made the body start to fall asleep - that happens with switching a lot with me; that or headaches. I prefer that over the headaches!!
