First Step-ish!

Last night DH was trying to get TerraDactyl to take an unassisted step.  And here's the results:

First Hair Cut!

Image
TerraDactyl's bangs have been a bit unruly of late.  I've been sweeping them off to the side with the intention of using a clip or barrette to hold them there.  But I've been having some difficulty finding a satisfactory toddler barrette.  Her hair is so fine and delicate and I don't want to damage it.   When I was in high school, I did gymnastics with a girl used to use a metal clip to hold her bangs back while she practiced.  One day she landed on the clip and it basically turned the metal clip into scissors.  Every hair got cut.  So she stopped using clips and just used gel.  But it's hard to find a gel strong enough to withstand gymnastics.  So she ended up looking like Sonic the Hedgehog by the end of every practice.  Obviously, this is not exactly a likely scenario, but it does make me a bit cautious.   Not to mention that TerraDactyl doesn't like anything on her head.  She removes hats, headbands, hoods......

Did you hear the Firecrackers?

Hear what?!?! DH asked me that question yesterday while I was downstairs eating lunch.  Of course, I had not heard anything, so he took me up to SEE the firecrackers... That's a lot of tree Yup, that's right.  A giant chunk of our maple tree just up and fell over.  It looks like maybe there was some damage inside the branch.  Or something.  I'm not exactly an expert.  Doesn't exactly look like healthy wood to me We were going to mow the lawn that evening, but first we had to get that giant mess off the grass.  DH started off with the chain saw chopping off branches.  He didn't make it very far before the chainsaw got messed up.  So while he tried to fix it, I used the pruners and loppers to get off what I could.  Turns out, the chainsaw was broke.  So we had to use a hand saw to chop up the big parts.  It was super awkward sawing through 12 inches of wood at head height.  But we did it!  Too ...

A High Speed Chase

Image
Sleep training is continuing.  Nights are going pretty smoothly.  TerraDactyl usually fusses for a few minutes after we lay her down, but not for long.  And if I'm careful, I can usually sneak into bed without waking her up.  Unfortunately, she wants to wake up at 5am.  It's 6am if I'm lucky.  I've never been a morning person, so this is hard for me.  But I'm trying to make the transition gracefully and with love (you know, rather than bitterness and annoyance 😉). The cutest dragon ever Naps however, are not going quite as smoothly.  She's pretty ticked off when we lay her down.  She tries to sneak in snuggle naps, but she's got very little interest in sleeping alone in her bassinet.  We're trying to find the sweet spot between "not quite tired enough" and "over tired and angry".  It's a bit like Goldilocks.  I've been tracking when TerraDactyl eats, plays, and sleeps, and trying to find a schedule that works for us....
