prairiewindmomma Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 That baby in the photo looks much like Oldest did as a baby. His paper diapers were almost always like that--to the shoulder blades. He was my kid who converted me to cloth diapering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I grew up entirely free range. It was wonderful. Sometimes I wish we could move back to the teeny tiny town I grew up in. The kids there still ride their bikes freely through town, hang out in parks, and go to the sweets store for ice-cream on hot afternoons. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Ivy Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) I still would love a baby. Even at my age. And even with the reality of diaper blow outs. Ditto. :) Edit: It's an "I want a baby" booyah! Edited October 24, 2017 by Southern Ivy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 So, we are back from the pediatrician. He suspects influenza induced the croup, and prescribed steroids. She's going to be like a squirrel at a rave. She's kinda like that normally; I'm afraid to see her on steroids without preschool to wear her out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now instead of having 3+ months to learn it, she has just over a month. :glare: At least it's fairly short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I did pick up a copy. Do you think it should wait until DD16 has a little French under her belt, or could a raw beginner benefit from it? DD16's studies in French have been mostly on pronunciation so far. I'd start it now. We are fairly raw beginners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Home from Art class. One boy did a beautiful semi-truck, the other is working on a picture of kayaks on a serene river. I am working on a young Arabian horse, and he is so pretty! I still have to add his lovely mane, but he's so satiny and silky on the paper you just want to pat his neck. For homework I have been ordered to finish my pony, finish my boats (I don't like those boats!) and finish my cat. So I'm going to be busy. I asked the instructor to bring me hands next week to work on. I love drawing hands, but they are hard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 *SIGH* DD16 isn't having the best day. NO ELECTRONICS BEFORE YOUR SCHOOL WORK IS DONE! YOU STILL DIDN'T PUT AWAY THE CLEAN DISHES! I WAS TRYING TO WATCH SOMETHING YOU WOULD FIND BORING WHILE I ATE MY LUNCH SO YOU WOULDN'T FEEL TEMPTED TO STOP YOUR SCHOOL WORK. THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN SKIP OUT ON SCHOOL WORK, EAT CHEESECAKE FOR LUNCH (AFTER VERY LITTLE BREAKFAST), AND WATCH IT WITH ME!!!! Now I'm really grumpy. I wanted to just chill for a bit, but no, I don't get to. I went to the fridge to see what leftovers were available for my lunch. The spiciest Chinese takeout was still available. With its container nested into the emptied but messy containers from the other Chinese takeout entrees. If the kids aren't careful I'll have heads for dessert, to cut the burn from the jalapenos hidden in the Mongolian Beef. gorwlgrowlsnarlsnap! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Blow-out baby reminds me of when AB was an infant and was still in foster care so I had to take her to all these useless doctor's appointments. I was somewhere, I have no idea where, talking to some doctor and she was in my lap and I picked her up to leave and there was a huge mustard colored spot on my beige pants. And then another time I was with her at the Social Security Administeatin and she had a blow out on my blouse. I had to change her on the floor in the Ladies Room because there was no changing table and I ran out of wet wipes. I had another appointment after the Socl Sec. so I ran to Target, bought a new blouse and more wet wipes really quick and changed before my next appointment. And I wasn't even breastfeeding her. However, she was lactose intolerant. So, we finally went on milk-based lactose free formula and we were fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Dd was playing with her arm and now she's behind in actual scheduled school. I'm reminding myself that being an autodidact and being enthusiastic about learning about intricacies of the circulation system etc. is good and that I really shouldn't be so rigid in my thinking. I wasn't this rigid in my thinking until high school. How did this happen? I didn't plan for this to happen and it doesn't really fit my homeschool philosophy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
