Travel update: DS fell asleep while out and about today, however both times were very inconvenient! Once in the car as we were pulling in to a restaurant, and then the second time in the stroller as we were heading back out to the car. He was very adorable and went down easily about an hour ago, so maybe all of this traveling isn't so bad! I did buy 2 new bras, a new summer purse, and an elusive navy open cardigan today. Successful trip, so far!
I am starting to get anxious about all of the crap in my mom's house. She's gone back and forth about selling vs staying. I think she (and her financial planner) has decided to stay. But, she has to get rid of some crap. It's just not safe to bring DS here with so much stuff everywhere. I'm tempted to just start pitching stuff myself, but my sister tried that once and it turned in to WW3, so I'd rather avoid that. I don't really think she's a hoarder, I truly think this is more a case of laziness. She let things go for a while, and now it's turned in to an overwhelming amount of stuff! Guess I'm going to have to start getting creative whenever we come to town.
DH pointed out that my maternity clothes (from DS1) aren't fitting great and some are looking a bit worn. I knew I had stretched stuff out some (I got HUGE) and I had bought a lot of cheap motherhood stuff but didn't realize it looked bad enough that fashion clueless DH could notice So I spent $500 on 2 pairs of yoga pant crops & 4 race back tanks (perfect for our mornings at the park), a nice but casual tank and a casual sun dress. It was all on sale and I really don't have much to wear right now but I feel guilty. Like I shouldn't have had to buy clothes for a second pregnancy or something.
DS has been having a dance party in my uterus. It seems like whenever DH and I sit on the couch and watch a movie or show, he just likes to kick my ribs the whole time. It's getting crowded in there! It's still reassuring to feel so much movement though.
we went out to a nice belated anniversary lunch today. and now I have food poisoning. thankfully h doesn't work until 2:30 tomorrow so I don't have to parent first thing in the morning. I'm comsidering calling in reinforcements for the afternoon though.

I was just thinking about how some of those people were on the "no poo" train back when that was the "thing" as well.
It's not that different really.
I for the record, wash or at least rinse my kid's hair whether they want to or not, but I just can't get agitated over hair washing because common sense would dictate that OP is probably washing hair if it smells.
I can safely benefit of the doubt this...lol.
I have no idea what any of this means (the equation of not using shampoo on yourself with whether or not you wash your kid's hair if it smells).
I haven't read the toddler thread, but do we actually believe that "I don't do it because my kid hates it" means "I give my kid 100% authority to make decisions around our house"? I just take it to mean, "this is an issue on which I am particularly lazy and don't feel like fighting my kid on it." I will be the first to admit that I am far from consistent in the things I enforce and the things I don't and I doubt MMM would agree with the battles I pick and choose.
I was just trying to say that a few years back on this board and the rest of the internet everyone was refusing shampoo and using nothing at all on their hair. Some were rinsing. Some were not. Ensue big discussions about old lady shower caps and post after post about how not to get your hair wet in the shower.
And yes, MMM kids themselves quite in the idea that we're all enforcing ALL the things all the time. I know we all like to make hills to die on about everything but in reality 99% of us are picking and choosing battles every day (there is a select 1% I'm sure that does rules all the time, all day long, never misses a beat, never has to argue or negotiate). I agree with you there.
