A Day of Low Standards

TerraDactyl's inner elbows have taken longer to heal than I'd have liked.  I've been making sure to clean out TerraDactyl's elbows and make sure they've got some time in the open air.  I've also been waiting on an ointment that I'd ordered (dang shipping!).  I just got the ointment on Friday and I think it's making a really big difference. 

They're still a little red, but nowhere near as bad as they were

I've been using Balm Baby Diaper Balm every day.  I think of all the things I've tried this is the most effective.  I heard about it from "All About Cloth Diapers" as a cloth diaper safe diaper rash cream.  But it seems to be a bit of a cure-all, so I thought I'd try it on TerraDactyl's elbows.  And I'm glad I did.  I've also been using it on her cradle cap and I think it's helping that as well. 

My new favorite cure-all!

I also found a vegan food that I actually like!  :)  I'm a huge dairy fan, so it surprised the heck out of me when I really liked this vegan ice cream.  I'm not sure if all the flavors are so amazing, but the Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge flavor from Coconut Bliss is AMAZING.  Not sure if it's actually healthier than regular ice cream, but it's certainly more expensive.  ;)

Vegan food that tastes good??

TerraDactyl and I didn't really accomplish much yesterday.  I put away some laundry that I'd done on Sunday, but that's about it.  The only thing of note that I accomplished was...  wearing real underwear!  I've been wearing the super stretchy underwear that the hospital gave me since my C-section scar is right where a waistband would go.  But it's healed enough I don't think I have to wear the hospital underwear anymore!  Yay!

Sorry, no underwear pic!

TerraDactyl and Riley were both a bit needy and snuggly.  I think they were still a bit overwhelmed from our busy weekend.  TerraDactyl ended up falling asleep in the afternoon after nursing and I swear she might have a mutant X-men ability or something, but when I hold her sleeping it makes me SO sleepy.  So we ended up taking a huge nap from 3:30 to 5 or so.  Well, that's when I forced myself to wake up.  TerraDactyl slept even longer.  It left me a bit groggy napping so long so late in the day. 

Family time!  Riley's got a stick he's trying to give to DH

Honey, Where are my pants?

The other day, DH and I were getting ready to leave the house and DH asked me to run downstairs to grab his wallet.  Sure thing, no problem.  I spent 10 minutes looking for his wallet before giving up.  DH looked downstairs for his wallet while I looked upstairs and in the car.  DH looked upstairs and in the car.  We finally gave up and left.  I had to drive instead of DH.  We spent a whole day thinking DH's wallet was missing.  Since he hadn't left the house in a week, we figured he lost it the last time he did leave.  When we finally got back to the house DH found this gadget  that links to your phone.  When you lose your wallet, you phone pings the card and it makes a noise so you can find the wallet.  Apparently, DH isn't the only one to have this problem.  ;)  Oh, and we found his wallet.  Phew!  It was in the pocket of his pants in the laundry basket.  Which we BOTH checked, multiple times.  Turns out, sometimes having a plethora of pockets in a pair of pants is a bad

Furniture Galore!

Well, DH and I have finally passed the last milestone to official adulthood.  It's not having a baby - lots of people choose not to or can't have kids.  It's not buying a house - people in big cities often can't buy houses because big cities are insane (a completely unbiased fact).  And it has nothing to do with age.  Nope.  The last milestone to adult hood is:  buying non-IKEA furniture.  DH and I are big proponents of hand-me-downs.  And we've got by pretty well so far, thanks to our generous family and friends.  But we did need a new bed, and I fell in love with one, so we ended up paying retail for it.  It was on sale, at least.  And it's really cool. My log cabin quilt on my log bed Oh, did I forget to mention I bought a whole bedroom set?  Yeesh.  I don't usually care about things matching.  And I'm usually not a big spender, so I don't want to buy all the matching things.  But this was just too cool.  And the set was on sale!  I l

Summer Camp

  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate...  I think TerraDactyl told her first ridd
