Anyone interested in the Fisher Price books, make sure to check Once Upon a Child. I got them for A for about $5 a piece there.
We're up. A has a low grade fever. I have a breakfast casserole in the oven. That's about it here for now.
On a side note, I'm wondering if he's lactose intolerant. I assumed the loose diapers were from shots last week and teething, but now I don't know. So I'm going to pick up some new milk in town today.
@jemomma that sounds amazing. I had military friends that lived in Switzerland for a few years. They had two kids and lived over a chocolate shop. The owner even hired here to work part-time in the shop with the kids. Bliss.
We taught BH "feet first" a couple months back, so that's what he uses to get down from couches, chairs, beds, and stairs.
Sigh. I've been trying to show him feet first, too. This kid does what he wants, when he wants. He used to wave bye to me. No more. He'll now just push my hand aside, as if to say "stop bothering me, mom". lol
No no no. Too soon for this. Not allowed until at least 13!

I'm sitting in the beauty salon on a nursing home pumping. I'm at my contract job and tried skipping last time I worked...and ended up with a clogged duct. Ugh. The things I do for my child...

I scheduled M's first haircut tomorrow at a kids hair salon and toy store. I warned them he may scream- wish us luck that this goes as painlessly as possible! Finally cutting off his little lone pigtail yess

J is super loud today. He has no indoor voice. I have a headache.
I got my vivofit from amazon yesterday. 10k steps, not including our grocery store trip yesterday morning. One of my coworkers can't figure out why I had more steps than her because she walked around our building 5 times during her lunch hour. Uh, maybe because I don't sit at a desk for my shift.
Save travels to all who are traveling today mrsmonogrammed @scoop and...who else? carrots?
Well, B has a full blown double ear infection and screamed the entire 10 minutes to the pediatrician's office. Gave him Tylenol and his antibiotics, and after a fight, he is finally down for a nap. Perfect timing for a 12.5 hour car ride! Haha. Please pray for our sanity and for B's ears to heal quickly!

Oh no! Poor B and you. Hopefully the Tylenol will help him get a long car nap. Good luck on your trip!

Poor B!! I hope he feels better soon and you have an easy trip!
Good luck kemdupuis! Would not want to be in a car with an LO like that!
holliberry28 LO screamed the entire time for haircut #2, but the stylist used one of those electric cutter things with a comb for the lower half of his head, so the whole haircut was over in less than 5 minutes. So if M screams, hopefully it won't be for too long. I'm sure the stylists at kids haircut places are pros
Morning all! My girls are both so whiny this morning. We need to get out of the house ASAP or I'm going to go crazy. No weekend plans because DH is on call.
Question for other STM+ moms or anyone with advice.. what age did you take your kids to a movie at the theatre for the first time? I want to take DD1 to see Finding Dory and I feel like she'd sit through the whole thing and love it, but is she too young? She'll be 3 in a 2 months.
I havent read ahead to see if anyone shared but we took DD a couple of weeks after she turned 3. She LOVED it. We brought snacks and she switched between her own seat and mine and Hs lap. She got a little chatty and antsy toward the end, its an hour and 45 min movie but its a kids movie and we went to the 11am showing so we were in good company
Hope all the babies who aren't feeling well get better soon! A has a high fever but it seems to be a virus.
Also hope everyone's vacation goes/is going well.
H gave me a Tervis cup for an early anniversary present. He knew I wanted one but I thought he was going to get me one with turtles on it (obviously) but apparently they make custom ones! So I now own a Tervis cup with three pictures of LO and "Hi Mom!" on it.
Here's one angle. (Appearance by my turtle in the background.)
Edit: does anyone know how I can get my pictures to be bigger?

Got a package from target today in the mail, and I could not for the life of me figure out what I ordered. Turns out, I didn't order anything. It was a trial size of wipes and a couple toddler snacks for "almost a year of parenthood"...a little late?

I took the kids to the park to run free and see the ducks. They loved it and kept playing chase and then played hide and seek behind these poles. Be still my heart, they are just too sweet when they play together. Mamas who have #2 on the way, its crazy and exhausting but so worth it
New discovery today: my office has coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in the break room.
Today I stuck a bag of black cherry tea in my hot chocolate. It.is.amazing. I don't know how to say no to this.
How's your new job going?
It's good. They made me in charge of one of our clients, which is intimidating since I'm so new and keeps me busy. But DH says my stress level has noticeably decreased since I made the switch.

GDI I want my random surprise Target gift! I don't think I ever switched my address on file so the new tenants of my old apartment maybe got a surprise lol.
This happened yesterday, but it's random and I know some of you enjoy anecdotes about my small town. L and I went to the pharmacy to get some over-the-counter cold medicine for H. They refused to serve me because he'd been in himself five minutes previously :-)
My friend just brought round a huge box of chocolates because she thought H and I both need cheering up. Joolschweets, they're Thorntons and I thought of you. (Hope you're feeling better.)
