Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Because books.

Oh, sj, that happens, too. She's probably scared it's going to happen again. Just be as soothing as you can be.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

sj - Kelly did that around that age and it had the same effect. We did a few washcloth baths which she decided she didn't like even more than the tub and we were able to go back to the tub. Getting clean wasn't optional, despite crying and screaming.

Thanks for the reminder about the Tony's. Only tuning in now, which is a bummer.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have been so reassuring and soothing and told her even if it happens again, that it's no big deal. I don't know how much of that she understands. TCG had to get in the tub with her last night, because she really is too strong, and it was the only way we could get her in the tub at all. I just bought her a doll that comes with it's own tub om amazon that she can play with. I'm hoping it will help when it arrives. We feel awful like we traumatized her for life.

No trauma, sj, I promise. It'll pass eventually. Doing a different kind of bath, like Suzi did, might help in the meantime.

Thrive to spite them

She'll be ok. I've noticed with my nephew when he's going through a development he gets more emotional. Even just school ending but it wasn't dramatic as last year. But he'll be 9 in August and I think there is another spurt of growth (not physical as much as everything else).

Tyler was traumatized by grass at that age. And sand. Screeching, full body meltdown.

He's now seriously in love with playing baseball. Safe to say he got over it.

Their neurons are making new links, sometimes the pathways get crossed.

(I was in swimming lessons since age 1. Round about 3, I one day developed terrors, swam across the pool, got into my car seat and couldn't be budged. It took another 2 years to get me back into the water, and then I was fine.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It's certainly in better repair than the Italian village or Scottish island we've considered.

Looks great msbelle, but it better come with a staff, because none of us are keeping it clean!!

I ordered a new computer online and my credit card texted me to be like "is this fraud? It seems like fraud..."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

For those of you watching the Tonys, those bottle walls behind Christine and Patty? That's what my crew installed 1/2 mile of LED tape in last year.
