So after two great first days of preschool, today was an awful one. Apparently she cried for me most of the two hours. I'm now dreading taking her on Wednesday. I'm hoping she is just off because her daddy has been out of town. It broke my heart to come pick her up and see her sobbing in the teacher's arms.

Happy Monday, y'all! We had a good weekend staying at my parents house. Busy week ahead. N turns 2 finally on Friday. One of the last "A15" babies Awww. He is the baby of the group! Do you have fun plans? Sorry if I missed it if you posted it somewhere else.

I dropped DS in the 2 year old room for the first time today. He was really confused but didn't cry. He did sit in the chair once she put down breakfast though. I need to go pick him up for his well check soon.

librarylady I'm sorry today was so rough. That would make me sad too. I hope her next day is better. Could they give her a fun job to help with? Or maybe try to give her a little extra TLC to help with the transition? Maybe bring something special from home like a stuffed animal to comfort her. Fingers crossed that this was just an off day.

The A/C is broken in my building and won't be fixed until tomorrow. It's 80 degrees in here. Of course this is a day I'm working late and can't leave....

The new nanny started today. So far so good. Abigail separated easily. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly today.

Happy Monday, everyone! I've got a vacation hangover. Today is hard. Thankfully, it's pretty slow and I've got caffeine.

I've seen a lot of people posting about their A15 going to preschool. Pre-school must be different here because you need to be at least 3 to go.

aydee we are pretty sure our flea situation happened when our AC didn't turn on at the start of the summer season and we had our house fully opened until the AC was replaced.

My inlaws invited us over for the day "sometime before Isaac starts school" he starts in 8days. Which means this weekend. I kinda wanted one last weekend to ourselves before school starts. But the more I thought about I came up with the perfect idea. I asked my H if he's take them to his parents for the day and I stay home. Take some time to recharge. I'd have the entire house to myself for a day. Sounds lovely right? He said he would now let's just see if it happens

I haven't washed my hair since Saturday afternoon. So greasy right now. 😩 trying to power through. Trying for washing every 3 days.
Can those that use dry shampoo talk to me about your routine? Specifically wondering about how often you wash hair and how often you use dry shampoo. Thanks!

I got the dreaded call from daycare mid afternoon. C had a 102 temp. Got him in to the peds, ear infection and virus. They ruled out strep via a culture. He has had his first round of meds and is doing better.

This is a total fwp but I'm not sure when to mail out baby shower invites. I wanted them to arrive one month in advance, which would have me mailing them today. All of our mail is sorted in Houston and I'm a little worried they will get lost. They're not operating today, but even if they're able to tomorrow it's probably a cluster. Maybe I'll take them with me to Dallas on Saturday and mail from there. The majority of the people are in the Houston area, but there's a handful that's not and maybe they'll get theirs?? Could you send a save the date style electronic one and let people know the paper copy will arrive when local weather permits?

librarylady sorry for the rough day. That is definitely hard and pulls on the heart strings. M bawled every time at drop off until the past 3 days. He has finally connected with one teacher in particular, so drop off's are not longer horrible. I'm sure it will get better. aydee gave some great suggestions on transitional comfort items. Perhaps you can make a book about her preschool and read it to her frequently (take pics of the classroom/teachers and different activities). And add what the routine is there, so she knows when to expect you to pick her up (ie/ first drop off, snack, play time, outside time, small group, stories and then mommy comes).

To add the total random anecdote to the mix Pizzaslut, I had the easiest pregnancy with DS1, and he seriously was the easiest baby. Don't have anything for DS2, but we've had our ups and downs with sleeping. Moral being, it's a totaly crap shoot, so just believe this one will be a good sleeper, and maybe it will happen. In the meantime, sorry about the sickness.

We had a super busy, but fun weekend! Friday we did a thirft store date night thing (see the fashion thread for pics..lol). It was a blast. Went to a play and then out for drinks dressed like that!
Saturday we 'picked' our exterior, so that's a relief for it to be mostly done. Saturday night DH had a bunch of guys over to watch the fight, so I had to entertain the wives. It was on SO late...lol..im a total wimp with sleep lately!
Sunday we took a bus trip to a Jay's game in Toronto (through DH's work). I was honestly dreading it with a two year, but M was amazing! It helped we were in a group mostly of our friends/family, so he could wander around. Almost at the end of the game he was eating an apple and then suddenly tossed his apple core...it totally landed in the bag of popcorn of a woman sitting in front of us...she was PISSED. I felt horrible, but then thought she was OTT with it, so was meh about it.
Today we finalized a few things for cabinets, flooring and started looking at granite...so much work.

Specifically wondering about how often you wash hair and how often you use dry shampoo. Thanks! For example, I wash and fully style (blow out, use product, etc) on day 1. Day 2 I use dry shampoo if needed, especially if I'm wearing my hair down. Day 3 definitely use dry shampoo, probably wear hair up. If I just let my hair air dry after washing instead of fixing it, I usually can only go 2 days. ^^ Basically this. I try to plan my workouts around my hair washing so there's only one workout per hair wash cycle (usually second day). I can go 4 days but the last couple days it'll likely be up in a pony tail. Usually day 1 is down, blown out, straight, day 2 is down, curled. Day 3 is either down curled or pony tail, day 4 (only if it's a weekend) is pony tail or baseball cap. And I use dry shampoo every day unless I'm wearing a hat.

Day 1 - full wash style (often straight bc I'm lazy) Day 2 - half up with some waves Day 3 - dry shampoo and more waves Day 4 - braids (crown, dual) or twists Day 5 - up in messy bun with crown braid Day 6 - shower or say F it, its Sat and I'm a greasy pot (then wait until Monday morning to shower bc lazy)

easternshoregirl how was your first day back to work? How did your big announcements go for the pregnancy? I hope it was a good day. Hi!!! So busy! Just a post and run for now. My day was great, I really like most of my colleagues so it was good to reconnect and everyone is excited about all the babies! As for E, he had a day like librarylady's LO. He cried most of the day, I could hear him screaming as I walked up to get him this afternoon. So of course I started crying....hopefully it will get better. It is the same place as last school year and he loved it so I hope he just needs to adjust back.
