This week's group chat starts with a look at how our kids got their names. Find out who named a kid after a U2 song, who you better not call by a nickname, whose names people willfully misspell, which names teachers shrink from, and who's the only podcaster old enough to remember the name Owen from Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law.
From there, we rambled on to our experiences with day care — good, bad, and guilt-inducing. Though our children survived, we still cringe at the memory of the day-care vacations, working just to pay the day care, dealing with people who judge you for needing their services, and getting those incident reports that dutifully let you know that things weren't all good in your absence. (And no, Terri wasn't making up that story about day-care fight club.) 
Finally, we shared our recommendations for the week: Catherine (with a C) suggested visiting the Name Lady for all your name-related questions; Amanda (never Mandy) liked a Scary Mommy post on the virtue of giving your kids plain names; Nicole (not Nicki) passed on an article about what to avoid when looking for a preschool; and Terri (not short for Theresa) had suggestions for when that preschool is for a child with special needs.
Thanks as always to Jon (without an h) Morin for producing our episodes and Kristin Eredics for our happy in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.
