Does anyone else's N13er hate buttons? Not only will Colin not wear them, he doesn't like when other people do. I'm wearing a cardigan today and he looked at me in horror and asked me not to wear buttons to muffins with Moms tomorrow. That's hysterical. S doesn't have an opinion about buttons. But he recently decided he hates the color I painted my toes and tells be daily that he thinks it's "disgusting" and that I need to go back and paint them blue. It's so weird the things that the randomly have very strong opinions about.

jewels - You reminded me, "disgusting" is a new favorite word of Colin's. He seems to be trying it out on the most inane things, but it's actually oddly cute.

joelies, yes, Cadence loves the word "disgusting" and she puts such emphasis on it. As far as buttons go, she is currently trying to master buttoning and unbuttoning, but she gets frustrated and yells that she hates buttons and doesn't want them on things. Unfortunately, most of her uniforms have them, so she's forced to wear them.

It's moved past cute to incredibly annoying in our house. "that dinner smells disgusting" "your show is disgusting". I am looking forward to this phase passing.

Morning! S slept in 2 hours past normal. I was very nervous she’d wake up sick but nope! It’s chilly out today and I think it’s supposed to rain. We are going to eat lunch soon and then I need to take H to school. I’m working this evening.

M loves that word too except she pronounces it ass-gusting. This is hysterical. S no longer has any weird adorable mispronunciations. I miss that. Although this weekend he was building some lego spaceship and got to the cockpit and he kept saying the beginning of it wrong. So I corrected him and overly enunciated so he could understand. Now he keeps referring to it as the COCK pit. It cracks me up

Don’t think I said hi today, so hi! Somehow I feel off today and I have no idea why. We cycled 10 miles and I had a cocktail, but it didn’t help 🤷🏼♀️. There’s a new day tomorrow right?!

Anybody else's kid kind of off? Josie is waking up much earlier than usual, any little thing sets her off, and we're having such control issues (I wanted to fold the clothes! After I had already finished folding them, and had no idea she wanted to help with that task ... cue meltdown!!) but it's over everything and 55 times a day.

We’ve gone thru s ‘disgusting’ phase too...I think we’re mostly past it, tho.
No comments on what I wear, but the other day B kind of confidentially told me I should put some lipstick on so I don’t scare anyone 😂😂 it’s my own fault bc I always stop to put some on before getting out of the car and I’ll say something to that effect—apparently he’s listening!

We are passed the 'disgusting' phase in this house. Like jewels, it was always my cooking that resulted in the highest volume usage of the word. It was very annoying...which is probably her new favorite word. guster I don't consider it that Evie is off, so much as trying to establish more independence. She picks out her own clothes now and gets herself dressed, I can't help. She also brushes her own hair and doesn't want me to pull it up in a pony or touch it. If I push helping her, she gets mad and we get in a fight.

Then it asks you the general questions, 1st day of last period, normal cycle length, etc. Now it's tracking it. Apparently, there are 8 days left before my fertile window. Bet you all wanted to know that. LOL

It's been like this for about a week now. We're going on the second week. The same thing happened last year at this time. It was about five weeks of pure torture for all of us. Emotions are so out of control that I know she was struggling, too.

Now both boys are obsessed with Toy Story so every time Dude gets upset he calls us cannibals or backstabbing murderers. It's hysterical.

Also, he literally FLIPS OUT if MH tries to do any of his regular tasks (ie put toothpaste on his toothbrush, go in there in the AM to help get him dressed, etc). He only wants me. Which is super fun for me. And MH gets his feelings hurt by it.

I solved my problem of my preschooler today: I put Charlie down for a nap, put Josie in her room with the iPad, and took a shower. I didn't tell anybody that I got out, so I'm lounging on my bed with my 3rd cup of coffee for the day. I've never done this before. It's incredible!

This morning poor X freaked out about my sister holding Poppy. Like he thought she was taking the baby or something?
She asked to hold her and as I handed her over he grabbed her clothes and started trying to pull her back towards my lap. He was shaking and crying and looked so panicked. Poor little sweetheart.
