Thanks, Hec. I know I shouldn't *care* what the hell they dress her in (and really, I truly don't), but my ingrained, bone deep, stereotypical girlyness is so hard to let go of sometimes.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Wait until she's old enough to voice her opinions on her clothes, Aims. It'll come soon enough. I dressed Liv in lots of black and gender neutral stuff but low and behold, the girly girl erupted when she got to pick her own outfits.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
WRT head bruising, I sprained my ankle last monday and didn't see the first sign of a bruise until saturday. Now much of my foot is angry, electric purple and has that uber sore "ouch, bruise!" feel. So it may just be that coming out late...but anything head-related I'm all for getting checked by medical professionals ASAP. As Cass noted, brains are best spicy but not scrambled.

I'm sorry about your grandmother, Sean.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ah, Sean, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.
Aims, she's two. Just remember, she's two, and it sounds like her preferences in clothes will be respected by her folks when she expresses them, so she may well go into a super-femme stage soon, and they will support it.
I looked like a boy(hair, clothes, etc) from birth to 4th grade (by my own tomboyish farm-raised self) and look how I turned out!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Teppy, when I fell and whacked my head, the bone bruise on my temple took a couple of days to kick in, and it hurt like a son-of-a-bitch. It also ached for a fairly long time after that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sean, I'm so sorry about your grandmother, and for the rift between you and your dad. It's such a hard thing.
Bone bruise? You can bruise a bone?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Dammit, I can't find the shirt I want to wear today. I need something a little long to wear over cropped black leggings, but not a t-shirt or clingy thing, and I have the perfect navy top, and I can't find it. Or I could wear my new teal t-shirt with a pretty bohemian tie-dye skirt that I haven't worn yet. I don't want to come across all hippie, though.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Well, my head-bruise still hurts today, but not any worse. And I still don't have any other symptoms at all of concussion/TBI. I guess I might call my doctor's office and talk to one of the nurses just to see if there's any point in getting my noggin checked out.
Unrelatedly (well, slightly) -- Zen! We got the book yesterday! I just forgot to say anything in all the concussion. Thank you! I will get to making you cookies in the near future.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Calling your doctor sounds like a good plan, Teppy.
Nicole is threatening to take Belinda with her today. I'm scared.
