i totally hear ya....I want to do the same loft bed for my monster, but am terrified at the same time. I can't see being okay w/ it until he is 4 or 5.

I guess I have the odd toddler. Shelby doesn't mind me rinsing her hair. I don't know if it is because we used to (and still do) take her in the shower with us, instead of baths all the time. She got used to the water on her back, and then in her hair. Now she will crawl under the running water in the shower. She does NOT like to be laid down in the tub to get her hair rinsed, though. She doesn't mind me pouring water on her...

Pecans & Walnuts are very very dry nuts, so you have to add more oil to make them spreadable (non-crumbly) When I attempted to make walnut butter it came out HORRIBLE tasting...too oily IMO. I've never tried pecan butter, but I have a feeling it...

We've been working on this for a few weeks, but last night I asked her if she could bring me her shoes. She went into the dining room and came back with a matching pair of shoes!! I was so happy. Also, she has started to recognize pictures of babies and pointing to them and saying "baby".

I do the same thing Sam does when I'm with any kid that's going through that stage

1. It's so nice to come to a new, clean building for work. It's so refreshing. 2. I *think* I figured out how to log out of the phone on my desk so I don't have to take calls until the first shift leaves.

A month or so ago, Emily started the "why" stage. Every answer ends with a why . . . why . . . why . . . why . . . on and on and on. Couple that with the fact that she repeats everything I say, and you can see my frustration. Em: Where are we going? Mom: Home Em: Home? Why? Mom: Because that's where we live. Em: Where we live? Why? Mom: Because we needed a place to live. Em: Need a place to live? Why? Mom: Because we...

thanks, and oh it is stephanie from lazytown

Liz hates it when I pour water on her head. However, she'll pour water on her own head with no problem! So I just tell her to pour a bowl of water on her head to rinse. I also used to bribe her: "Hey Lizard, if you let me rinse your hair, I'll give you a bowl of cold water to play with!" (for some odd reason, she loves cold water)
