Yes. Yes I am. He only has a pair of Christmas jammies and a Batman costume though.

I know, right! I always have questions about these things though, just no interesting opinions on the subject.

Henry is unimpressed that I woke him up to take a picture. He just got back from the groomers though so it’s nice to to get a picture while he’s still all shiny and clean.

Yeah, that’s when I turned it off. Totally ruined it.

It’s my only non-grey spot. I was lucky enough to be an early commenter on the first Millihelen article.

Ack! I just un-greyed Bobby Finger!!!

I regret that it was the right choice. But there is not even the tiniest bit of doubt in my mind that it was the right choice.

I don’t think it matters how similar or different the names are, parents do that anyways. Cel-Amalie (sounds like Salamali when said fast) is often heard in my house. Sometimes hubby even gets called by the dogs name. He doesn’t find it nearly as amusing as I do.

Oh, and she had one of those swim things too (puddle jumper, I think?) and it really did help her build some confidence and comfort. And I totally agree with having him around other kids who are swimming without any aids. That can really show them that they can do it and they don’t need to be so worried about it. And…

If he is anything like my strong-willed, red-haired, middle child, I would let him use it. My daughter refuses to do anything until she knows she can do it. Like walking or riding a bike or swimming. And pushing before they are ready can just cause them to be more scared and/or anxious about it. In my experience…

Oh man. I have so many great summer pics at my parent’s house! I only have these 2 on my computer though. One is slightly more flattering than the other.

I was ghosted by 21 year old I was dating and lost my virginity (I wish there was a cooler way to say that) too when I was 17. Once I realized what he had done (and as far as I know, I had done nothing to warrant this besides not wanting him to shave his head) I comforted myself by only ever referring to him as…

Ahhhh, that makes sense then.

So, did his gun accidentally go off 5 times? How would that even be possible? Once, I can see. But 5 times??

This is so exciting! I love the thrill of the hunt in a thrift store!

I hear ya. I am very grateful for my library’s self check out option. And that is why I will feel slightly less embarrassed than I should when I check out Chris Harrison’s (yes, the Bachelor host) romance novel that is on hold for me today.

He. And this is pretty much one of the only times he drew with a pen. Darn kid starts kindergarten in September and I have to keep talking myself down cause he’s a boy and they can be a lot slower with these things...... He can build the craziest Lego cars but can’t write his name.

How about a “who the hell left a Sharpie where the toddler could find it” picture?

I think we need a gif of that.

Yes! That one! I was remembering the octopus bigger for some reason. I am very jealous of your shower curtain.
