flamingo, have you cut C's hair before? I've never cut L's and have been wondering if I should be giving her a little trim here and there or anything. I'm not going to give her bangs because the poor girl has some funky cowlicks in the front that I think will be easier to manage with no bangs. No, other than a couple little snips with manicure scissors, she hasn’t had a real cut. When I took B in last time the stylist said something about most little girls get their first cut at 3. But I feel like my kids have a lot more hair than ‘average’ so Idk. It’s just awkward now...my goal is a little bob/pageboy that I can scoop up on one side with a bow, but We aren’t there yet. I don’t know if anything can be done to fix the Joe Dirt look she’s rocking while the sides grow in, though. ETA: my friend’s daughters both had crazy hair as newborns that stayed that way the first year or so. With her second, she said she took her in and had it trimmed/evened up at some point, and her hair grew in much better and more evenly than her older daughter’s. So that’s been in the back of my mind... sorry for the novel, I have a lot of thoughts about this! N needs something.. the back is starting to get long but the rest is a mess. Keep us posted!

I have to go back and read, but I wanted to let you all know that I might be in the wrong profession. Our handyman is here, and his daughter lost her first tooth last night. $25 in glittered money. I'm clearly paying him too much!

Do any of your N13's do Karate? I remember Cher mentioning it once. C really wants to start Karate but our local place starts at 5. There are some about 25-30 mins away that start at 4 but I'm wondering if his attention span is enough.

MH and I met working together..but waiting tables is a bit different than current professions. His company has lots of spouses working there that either met there or other got a job later since it's a major employer for the area.

Either way, I'd for sure sign him up, boy has killer ninja moves

I have the most random shit in my Amazon cart that I'm waiting to pull the trigger on.
Stuff to put on nails so people won't bite them - a must because my kids are disgusting and even bite their toenails. Coveralls - thanks for the help finding some for Maddie, but lord knows those girls don't need anymore clothes. Rainbow unicorn long-sleeved dress - but if I get something new for Maddie I need something new for Cass and this is right up her alley. Optical Illusion book - it's a book, so that makes it totally educational.

Well I’m glad I took S to the dr. She just finished 10 days of antibiotics on Saturday for strep. Well, apparently it didn’t kill it totally so a new antibiotic was prescribed. Plus she’s wheezing and has some inflammation in the lungs. So a steroid and breathing treatments for that. Poor thing. I feel like she's had nonstop sickness for awhile! I know!! She went for a really long healthy stretch over summer and the beginning of fall. And now it seems like it’s always something!

wedding, the girls have been in tai kwon do for a year now. They love it. It's 4x a week. Cass started when she was just over 3 even though they want kids to be at least 3 1/2. She was able to give it a try with Maddie's first class and because she followed instructions well she was able to start. She was super eager to be able to do something like her big sister so she was motivated to behave. She just graduated to the bigger kid class and is doing well there. Most of the classes are active (which would be great for C's crazy energy), but they also teach them skills to hone in the craziness a bit. Cass is a rockstar when they are supposed to balance with cones on their heads (lol). They also teach about respect and some Korean language (the kids taught me how to count to 10 in Korean). I imagine most schools would offer a free class so you could see how C would do.

Poor S. lfig,hope this round of meds does the trick and she feels better soon. Happy Birthday! cheeksmum I think I missed mamabear,'s birthday too, so happy belated to you! No to working with spouses. MH already drives me nuts with all his questions all the time! inthekitty What is the nail stuff you are getting? I got something off of Amazon for M's nail biting and I don't think it works. I would put it on his nails after he went to sleep, and he never says anything the next day about it tasting bad or anything, and his nail biting has continued so not sure.

Funny you guys were talking about cutting little girls’ hair today. Yesterday i washed Z’s hair and it was past the midline of her back! Normally it’s past the shoulders because it’s curly and springs up. My MIL said i should cut a little off the bottom. I might to make combing easier but if i do it’ll be her first haircut. Eek!

Hi all! I skipped nursing B this morning so I could grab a shower, and she didn't forget my treachery. So she's currently dream nursing on me. It's been awhile since she's done this, and I'm enjoying the snuggles.
Re: working with your spouse--my H works at home, and I work part time, so we're together A LOT. We get along well and are used to it, so it's no biggie, although it was an adjustment at first.
