I'm cheered by the pretty men in kilts. Coffee's on. Owen's been up for an hour.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Re the training pants. We found the Hanna Andersson ones to be huge on Ellie. But I forget what Noah weighs. I had good luck at childrens place. Ellie still wears their XXS. For a while she wore two pairs (she liked it and it helped with the absorbency)

Someone recommended these which are size 1 and fit 4-6 month olds Which is super wild to me.
I'm going with my cheap Hanes as requested by C and the expensive but super lovely Little Beetles: [link] We'll try Hanna Andersson later this week.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
am so tired. first mac meltdown in several weeks. first call to 911.
I considered calling in tired, but decided I'd feel better if I actually got some things done since yesterday work was a mess of people getting in my space and keeping me from my work.

Mac called 911? Or you?
Gosh, I hope that never occurs to my kids. I can totally see Casper calling 911 to report that I am a bad mom.

mac did, because I am "always mad at him, and I am mean, and I should be ashamed."
He did not say anything to them, just froze and gave me the phone, at which point I explained that my son had called and they verified that there was no emergency and hung up. Apparently pretty common amongst kids with quick flare tempers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my. Maybe suggest 311 next time?

Oh they learn all about 911 in school, I guess, so that cat is out of the bag. I think the voice on the other end scared him from doing it again anytime soon. I also told him that they have now logged our phone number as making a non-emergency call to them, so they have a record of it and know what he did. Hopefully that will be a deterent. I figure the worst case is police really come out and give him a talking to about minding his mom and not calling 911. That would scare him shitless. which while not great for a kid who is scared of so much just under his outward shell, but it might be necessary at some point.

Kat, iPlay makes training pants down to 18M - from the pictures here they look basically identical to iPlay swim diapers. (Which I love.)

oof, msbelle. I hope the deterrent works.
Overheard a few seconds ago:
Olivia: "I'm Iceman! I freeze you with lots and lots of ice!"
Owen: "NOOOOOOO! Mooooom! Tell Olivia not to freeze me!"
I've never been so torn between annoyed and proud in my life.
