Childrens' television is peculiar.


We just watched Jungle Junction.


Who thinks of this stuff?

We got to daycare at the same time as one of DD's best buddies, a little boy in her class. They were so freaking excited to see each other. It also made me think how glad I am to send her to a diverse school. This boy is black and Muslim. I'm starting her off with "I can't be racist friends" early.

HULK SMASH FOR 2curlydogs

[2curlydogs]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand daycare just called. S is running a fever of 101 or 102. I have to drop everything at work to go pick him up. And he can't come back tomorrow either because of the 24-hour waiting period.

Boo!  I understand, yet hate, the 24hr waiting period.

Jesus, I'm sorry you're getting inconsistent information 2curlydogs. DD is 7.5 months and our pedis won't even let us use ibuprofen for teething because they're concerned about stomach problems associated with it. So while everyone else on earth uses ibuprofen after 6 months, I have the pedis' voices nagging in my head that NO, GIVE HER TYLENOL INSTEAD. Luckily for us though, Tylenol works fine. But doesn't acetophetamine cause liver issues? Stomach, liver, potayto, potahto.

DH bought Orajel one day and I used a smidge of it on DD's gums because I didn't know it was horrible. I still don't get why it's sold if it's that horrible though.

Those of you who have met DH and/or I or at least seen pictures will laugh when I tell you DD is only at the 15th percentile for weight and has been around that percentile after her first month or so. How the eff did WE create a peanut? But of course, she eats solids like it's going out of style and gets really angry when she's done with her pouches or food (it's really funny to watch her get angry because it does look like she's trying to hulk smash).

Daycare called. DS got bitten. Again (fourth time). At least they saw it happen this time. :/

both my kids are like 10th percentile. 

Both were 9+ lbs at birth.


DD is seven. She weighs 47 pounds.
DS is four. He weights about 30-35 pounds.


they also both have miniscule feet. that DO.NOT.GROW.  DS is wearing his summer shoes (keens) that are now on their THIRD summer. He's four.

Pedi's all... they look fine. they're full of energy, it's all OK.

I was worried at first but I no longer am considering how much she eats. But if she's a feather for the rest of her life despite still eating a ton then DH and I will just assume that our shitty metabolisms combined to give her fabulous metabolism, like how multiplying two negatives gives you a positive.

If DD has my feet she will be destined to have small feet. I'm 5'11" but only have size 8.5 feet.

Poor little guy.

Toddler potty seats are not made for diarrhea. The splashing on the underside... ick .

DS had bad diarrhea Monday, was mostly fine Tuesday but we skipped school anyways (goes only Tuesday/Thursday afternoons) was fine yesterday and this morning, but I got the call a half hour after he got to school that he had a poopsplosion. I feel bad, and now I don't know how long to stick close to home.

This stuff had made me think my stance on not requiring underwear, though- it at least could have kept things more contained this week.

This may be flamable, but if my boys spike a fever at home and I know for a fact it's not cause they're sick, I still send 'em.

Yes that's flameable. If your kid is spiking a fever, like over 100, he's probably sick. And he's going to get everyone else sick. And how can you possibly know he's not sick? Uhg. This is why my child was out sick everyother week at daycare her first year. Because parents like to push it.

FWIW our pediatric dentist says that ibuprofen slows the break through of new teeth. So while it might be a better pain reliever for teething it makes the process last longer.

Also, at about 4m old I gave Boy B Ibuprofen because I totally forgot it's not supposed to be given prior to 6 months. And I gave it multiple times. The doc wasn't concerned when I admitted my error so I really can't see why a week or two prior to 6months would be a no-no.
