The Build-A-Bear people are upselling geniuses. All directed to DD - "Do you want your bear to play a song?" "If you want to pick out an outfit for your bear, all the clothes are right there. Look at all the princess dresses!" "Do you want to carry your bear in a box or get a backpack for $5?"
I respect the game, but it was very frustrating. Thank the lord that DD picked out the cheapest bear. I did let her add a sound, and she picked "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and then picked out an Anna dress and shoes.
Got to see the HB again today. But I could barely keep it together during my appt. I was in the room where I last heard Bernadette's HB. This is hard, y'all. And it's just going to get harder.

((hugs)) I can't imagine.
BBT has turned into a full-fledged holy terror of a three year old. She'll be sweet and happy one minute, then COMPLETELY melting down because I handed her the towel instead of her getting it down by herself. Lord give me strength.

I cannot tell you the number of times I have taken the cap off the toothpaste, only to close it again and hand it to DD to open. God help me if I dare to put the toothpaste on the brush.

It's so hard with rainbow babies. I've been thinking of you a lot.

School is supposed to start tomorrow, but the teachers union and the school department still haven't come to an agreement.
So... We don't know if school is on or not. And the school year is going late this year... Too many strike days and the kids will be in school in July.
It's good, what the teachers are doing. I just want school to start. I'm not doing well with the uncertainty...
Today is DS1's first day of preschool. He looked so cute with his giant Avengers backpack. When we got there he ran into his class and didn't even say bye.
My family and I went to Lake Tahoe from Wed. to Sun. We surprised my daughter with some horseback riding. She's almost 6 and in love with all things horse related. She couldn't wipe the grin off her face the whole time we were there.
We also got my son on a horse too for a ride around the corral. First time on a horse, his face says it all.

Kit's first day of kindergarten! I definitely teared up a bit when we dropped her off, and then again when I was making lunch for Ender. I miss my baby!

My mistake is usually lifting ShortI into her car seat. MAMA I CLIMB.
I just need to brag/be grateful about how awesome my kids are lately.
A has made so much progress from the height of 3yo assholeishness in the spring. From vacation through to J's birthday there have been so many things that would have set him off before that he's handled really well. He even listens occasionally. He was an awesome big brother on J's birthday, despite our high expectations. After cake, he was asking what we were going to do with the leftovers and my mom teased him that she was going to take it home and eat it herself. He said, "well, ok, but, be really careful carrying it".
J is just entering my favorite age (so far). He's hilarious and a goofball and just wants to have fun and laugh. Last night he didn't want to go to sleep and just wanted me to be silly and laugh with him. I just want to eat up baby giggles.
I think I am in denial that we are having another kiddo. It took us so long and so much to have a second that it still doesn't feel real. I'm glad DS is excited. It makes me happy to think of what kind of brother he'll be.

I'm pretty sure my kid has the shortest case of roseola ever. She woke up from her nap on Sunday puking. Then puked 3 more times. Had a fever of nearly 103 for like an hour. Now she's got a rash.
She's totally fine so I'm hoping daycare just thinks its from detergent or something and doesn't demand we get her checked out for measles or something.

I've been thinking about you guys a lot lately. So many ((hugs)).
Hugs @kateaggie. It is so hard to remain positive after a loss, deep breaths and enjoy every happy appointment!
C starts Kindy tomorrow. He mentioned he was nervous about it for the first time last night. I just hope he feels upbeat getting on the bus, because if he resists at all it will be heartbreaking for me.
I'm also debating on whether C will even use the bus all year. I like the idea of him being independent and getting used to the bus schedule. But our house is towards the top of our street on a narrower, curvy/hilly, dead-end road up a few steep hills; our townhouses used to be an HOA in the 1980's, so our street is narrower than city requirements. The bus can't turn around on our block, so we have to walk to the end of our steep street to where it meets another steep street for the pick up. This feels like it will be a bad idea when things are icy/slushy in a few months. I can always hope we'll magically sell before November and be in our new, flatter neighborhood before winter hits?

It's a real mindfuck to be pregnant after loss. Hugs to you. It gets a little better when you make it past your loss point but I can't say that it's not still something always on my mind and I have to constantly stop myself from neurotically worrying. Logically eveything will probably go okay, emotionally it is hard to avoid "what if?"

Someone come get this asshole child please. I stayed home because I had really bad cramps (like nausea and such) and ever since he got home from school he has been a nightmare, whining, screaming, hitting me, etc. he's supposed to be in time out in his room but he keeps just slamming the door open and shut. All I want to do is open the door and shout FUCK YOU at him because I have so had it.
I need a nap and some Advil and then maybe just a child straightjacket.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
