First Step-ish!

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

Urgent Care Visit!

Image
We had an exciting day yesterday.  On our way to give TerraDactyl a bath, she poked me in the eyeball.  It hurt BAD.  I basically couldn't do anything but ice it for 2 hours.  It was pretty terrible.  It hurt to open my eye, it hurt to move my eye, it hurt to not maintain pressure on my eye...  It even hurt to open up my unaffected eye.  DH got me a web doctor appointment and they said I needed to go to urgent care so the doctor could check me out in person.   Since I was actively icing my eyeball, I couldn't wear glasses.  I figured I would be OK without them for a bit.  I regularly walk around without my glasses at home.  I used to compete gymnastics without my glasses.  I didn't really think about the fact that I was going to a location where I'd never been before.  DH and TerraDactyl didn't come inside with me (to avoid unnecessary contact with the outside world).  And all the signs are written assuming patie...

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......

Summer Camp

Image
  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.....
