I should clarify that I’m fine with pink. It’s a valid color. I just don’t want her only in pink. I pretty much hate all the message shirts, which is why I gave up on Carters. All gifted message shirts/body suits whatever end up at daycare or donated.

I’ve done that with a couple of dinosaur shirts. The one they had on the girls side (I think this was Target) had gold glitter and hot pink dinos on it? So I went and got a green one on the boys side.

Also I feel compelled to mention that today she is wearing sweatpants, a t shirt, and silver t-strap mary janes at daycare because she had a rough night and I let her sleep as long as possible and just felt like what she wore today wasn’t important enough to worry about. I got her hair and her teeth brushed and her…

I think part of the current problem is we’ve hit a little bit of a lull in the growing. She’s not outgrowing stuff quite as fast. It probably also has something to do with the fact that I start her in a size a little below the minimum size listed so that she can wear it longer. I love the H & M stuff, but haven’t…

Something happened to her brain when this kid came along, I swear. All kinds of things she never would have done with me (she even stopped the juice once she learned better), she acts like the child is being deprived of all the joys of life.

The only show of any kind I can get her to watch at all is something I found on Netflix called Masha and the Bear (I am glad she’s not super into tv, but I kind of wish she would be a little into tv.). She will pay a little bit of attention to Sesame Street if Elmo is on, but not enough to use it to my benefit, sadly.…

The sad part is that my mom was a dental assistant for approximately 4 decades and she KNOWS how many kids were getting fillings due to juice (including me).

That’s one of the ones I was pretty interested in. Plus it’s on sale and I could get it for her to wear in the fall, since it’s already getting up to 80 degrees here...damn it. I’m probably going to buy it. Even though the kid has more clothes than me at this point. On the other hand, she’s already started getting…

That fits with my impression of their general aesthetic, or whatever. They strike me as a group that would be intentionally pretty minimalist in terms of lights and fireworks and costumes and dancers and whatnot.

I am STILL having this argument with my mother because my 20 month old still doesn’t drink juice. My mother believes lack of juice is why she gets sick. She thinks the kid doesn’t get enough Vitamin C. And I try explaining to her that she gets that from eating an actual orange or kiwi or strawberry or any number of…

When BLINK 182 pulls out of a show and you still decide to go you need to look at yourself and really think about your life choices. BLINK 182 said they weren’t going to be able to perform after all because they didn’t think the festival could provide the minimum requirements to put on the show that Blink 182 fans…

I’m not royal or anything, but I sometimes dress my kid like that because I think it’s cute. Not every day or anything, but...sometimes.

My toddler does not need any more clothes right now. My toddler does not need any more clothes right now. My toddler does not need any more clothes right now...but seriously, cute stuff and the price tag is not that much higher than the nice stuff we buy her now (day care clothes are much cheaper, but for like family…

I have almost no interest in the royals at all, but this kid’s facial expressions were/are the best. I genuinely enjoy that he seems to have been giving major side eye to almost everything since approximately birth.

I was thinking that, too. Like, if he bought you out 2 days before it aired there is no possible way you were unaware that the show was happening. But no one could have known if it would be successful or not. Obviously someone thought it could be or there wouldn’t have been a show in the first place, but given that I…

No, but I’m going to look it up.

I keep seeing all the shrunken baby doll tees and crop tops and short overalls and HUGE flowered pants (I remember lots of daisies, what was the deal with all the daisies?). And suspenders (I have no idea why but I absolutely lusted after a pair of those huge daisy pants with suspenders that you were supposed to wear…

I think they are closing? But up until recently, yes.

That’s fair.

Yeah, this is the kind of story where I was prepared to say, “okay, I get wanting to enjoy the ocean and not being in a dive cage or purposely hunting sharks and getting attacked and having negative feelings about sharks”, but then it went in the other direction and I think even for my big talk that she’s a better…
