Awww, it'll come. I remember telling a friend at one point when DS9 was a toddler, "I don't want to break his spirit. No, wait. You know, actually, I think I do..."
Thankfully, it helps to have someone to share the insanity with us so we don't lose sight of The Whole Point. (And no, I didn't break his wee spirit. Thankfully.)
I'll be rootin' for you tomorrow night!

Oh wow! I remember those days when Samantha was little. Never had many problems from Grace. Only one time for about 2 weeks she would get up and hide from us - sometimes in the pantry or bathtub. She thought it was funny. I guess it kind of was! Good luck!
