Just opened my personal email to see that Cadence's dance class was actually cancelled today. Oops, sorry you had to wear your leo all morning. Of course, they didn't think to have her change before going to play outside, which means she'll probably need new tights again. No leotard but all the grass died in the playground at Trevor's school and it's a mud pit. Every time they play outside, I'm scrubbing pants. I don't know how they will ever grow grass again because kids are always out there.

Morning! Thinking of you today kim22, hope it all goes smoothly. Last night was a little tough, it was the first night I felt really tired when she woke me up to eat and I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I skipped napping Sunday and Monday and I think it caught up to me, so a nap is definitely in my future today. I’m also itching to go back to the gym, but my bleeding picked up from just walking around a lot yesterday, so I know it’s not time yet. There’s a new poke place opening today and they’re having a big grand opening event with giveaways and it support the lovepup foundation, so we’re going to check it out. Then my parents are coming over for pizza because they are leaving tomorrow.

Hope B feels better soon vino . And I am 😵 to wedding commuting in 6” of snow. I know you all are prepared for that up there but I can only imagine the mayhem that would ensure here. " means inches right? Just making sure. 6 inches, not feet. Yes. “ is inches.

I thought the runner had left for the day. Nope, he's just been in the bathroom for the last half hour.......

C just fished part of a granola bar out of the trash and ate it before I could stop her. #MOTY +1, would love new baby pics xolastunicornxo! We had a good hour or more of snow this morning but it didn't really stick, thankfully. I took the kids out to CFA at the tail-end of it since we're low on lunch stuff, and the whole area seemed like a ghost town, it was weird. Oh well...no line at the drive-thru! Is it too much to ask that the grocery store will be equally empty this afternoon?

klong11 not sure if this is possible temperature wise, but maybe you could put some thin legging over here leo’s? That way those get stained/broken, not the dance leotards.

Just landed. 1 mimosa at the airport and 2 bloody Mary’s on the plane. Just enough liquor to deal with my parents....maybe.

When you guys say your kids shower, do you mean alone? I have Layla shower with me sometimes, but I've never had her shower by herself.

We do baths because the kids like to play. C has taken a shower a few times if he's had puke, poop or diaper cream allll over him. It's been awhile though, not sure how he'd like them.

... we’re on hour 6 of no computers. IT doesn’t know what the issue is. He had us log in and went “oh, no that’s not right.” And went back to the server room. That was over an hour ago.... this looks promising.

B does both...he'll shower with MH occasionally, but our master has a glass enclosure so if I have him shower in there I can see him and make sure he's actually washing, etc. I'll reach in to help him rinse the shampoo out but otherwise he can do it himself.

mskatiep, N will shower with DH sometimes, other times I just toss him in and wash him up but he’s never left to shower alone. His baths I normally start filling the tub, he gets in, I wash his hair and then once the water is high enough I leave and lay on my bed (just outside the bathroom). So he bathes alone.

Showers we stand right there with the curtain open. I rinse her hair, then she holds the sprayer while I shampoo/condition then I rinse her hair again, she washes her body, I rinse her off and done. 5-10 minutes, tops. Baths she is by herself for some of the time. We are close by and she is never quiet while she plays in there. Then, mh goes in washes her hair, she washes her body, rinse and done. Baths are anywhere from 20-45 minutes. She'll stay in there past the point of cold water. She gives no effs when she's playing with her LOL dolls.

C hates showers but I would so much prefer them. Maybe I need to invest in a detachable shower head. He fights the tub so hard and then it's hard to get him out of the damn thing. Plus I hate the sitting in your own dirt aspect of a tub. Same! I always have to drain the water out then wash them, then water to rinse them. It's such a process.

We're back from the ENT. Adenoids are not enlarged, his tongue tie could use a slight revision, but nothing he said that would affect speech in a gross way. He has a little fluid in one ear, but said the only way we would truly know if there's any hearing loss is to do a screening, so that's on the books for next week . Essentially, he sort of poo-pooed all of my ideas and suggested that because the second child is more prone to colds and infections his congestion (which essentially has lasted from September) could simply be causing a nasal-y quality to his speech. He didn't get to hear much talking anyway because my child is not cooperative (really at all). He either screamed in the doctors face or repeatedly, and forcefully, said "no"to him. I have no idea how they're going to get results from a hearing test. I'm feeling really frustrated in general with him. He just cries so much. He's either really up and high and terrific -- Pleasant, funny, fun, willing to share and to talk or he's the hulk. It's exhausting. Pdq

guster sorry you didn’t get much for answers. The hearing test is passive: meaning they put little buds in their ear and send a sound or something. The machine reads it and they don’t need the toddler to actually participate or react.

I’m currently sitting on the mall parking lot. S did not get an early nap so she fell asleep on the way to preschool. As soon as she wakes up we will go in. Sometimes I wish it was acceptable to leave your kid in the car. Of course I would never do that.
