Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I actually resented the incursion of Emmett's teeth on his joyous gummy baby smile. Then of course, I disliked it when he was missing his two front teeth in his later years. I'm just reactionary that way.
Me, too. I also resent the 2nd teeth, when they show up. I pretended better with Julia and Chris, then I did with Ben.
In general, I've always felt like I'm running behind, trying to catch up and adapt to whoever they've grown to be, today. I'm usually just getting used to something, and then they outgrow it in some way.
I'm saving my resentment for first boyfriend/girlfriend.
When we get to teeth + nursing, I may revisit this statement.
I know NO experts agree with me, and nobody here should listen to me. I still say teeth are nature's way of saying it is time to wean.

B's wedding is in October. The 15th.
Hmm. You don't happen to know when K's, er, celebrating the wedding that already happened last year, do you?
November. J's is in September.
Beautiful pictures Stephanie! Just lovely.
I was pro-leash, but Brendon wouldn't let me have one. Leashes rock.
The boys got their teeth very late (15 months or so) which was cool because I loved the gummy grins. I had very few bites. They learned quickly that the breast would quickly be replaced with a sippy cup if they wanted to use teeth. Ouch!
I skipped bunches, but backed up a bit to find the picture link. Smiling madly here at the pretty.
our books that wouldn't fit on the upper shelves went in boxes.
This may be the only workable solution, because there's really no place else to put the bookshelves until we get a bigger house. We'll have to bolt the shelves to the wall to make it safe, though, or else they'll be way too topheavy for an adventurous toddler, not too mention a house in quake country.
Leashes bug me on a gut level though I certainly understand the advantages.
The velcro around the wrist ones look less creepy to me. And they have phone cord cords so that's sorta neat.
Stephanie, the photo of you lying in the delivery room with Ellie on your chest is just lovely.
Just the cat you want staring at you from a high book shelf.

We did this, as well. We also bolted the corner armoire where the TV lived into the wall (studs) too.
In fact, even though my kids aren't toddlers any more, we did it with both the big bookcase and armoire, when we moved in here, too. My mother worked with someone whose toddler was killed by a door. The family was home. The father was removing an old door and installing a new one. The kid pulled one of the doors over on herself (it was propped against the wall, I think).
