Doesn’t she know that there are just some days where the only phrase that will cover it is “crapped in her pants.”? I try not to be crude all the time, but there are days…

We’ve just come out of a phase of the three year old waking up whining and the baby (18 months in my case) getting assertive and whining.

It’s getting a little better since I started making a concerted effort to run the 3yr old around and tire him out.

Has Julie recently given up her nap? Things were rough around here until we’d finished making that transition.

Bon chance!

It will get better! BTDT and burned the tshirt! =P~ *HUGS*<br/><br/>The socks are CUTE! Another instant gratification project (and makes a holiday giftie!) is to put that same beaded cuff onto those "magic gloves" that stretch to fit nearly every size hand. And try tri-beads for a different look! <br/><br/>PS - love the blanket! Sorry about the ugly cycle you guys have going. It will get better! BTDT and burned the tshirt! =P~ *HUGS*

Even that blowing spit-bubbles all over the floor that my 21-yr-old used to do was a short-lived phase. And all those other annoying things. So many proverbs and maxims cover this stuff - "This too shall pass" is the best. Maybe this is for the critical commenter, too - skip the poopy bits and just read what interests you.<br/><br/>And for the more recent criticism, I just want to say that we do the best for our kids, and try so hard not to inflict on them what hurt most from our parents, but in the process, I am sure that other stuff, that we never dreamed was important, will be what they need therapy for. When my girl was hurt, I would hold her and make humming, comforting noises in her ear. years later, she accused me of laughing at her when she was hurt! The farthest thing from my mind. <br/><br/>Best wishes, everyone, and carry a spark of forgiveness and tolerance. Hey, Shelly,

Good for you.<br/><br/>I'd love a pattern for the pants too - I thought they might be good for the Dulaan Project. So maybe the size you made on up to something that might fit a 5-year old? I don't mean that you should do the pattern in multiple sizes, just suggesting the range in which the size might fall. Anything would be great.<br/><br/>I enjoy your blog; 'crude' and all. :) You said it, Shelly! Good for you.

Care to share pattern source? And, are you knitting the repeats w/ one type of yarn? <br/>The little socks are great, tho you will make far more of them than you want to! My little girl (who is now an adult!) had to have a pair to match everything. My mother made the first pair, I was left with the rest. That wasn't so bad...her little friends at day school and then kindergarten each wanted some!<br/>Lovely babies, wish I had time to research all your blog, but I have a nautical piece to finish in the next 5 days!<br/>If you want to respond, knit1read2.blogspot.com is me. I'll watch your post for a response, also. Thanks, even if you don't have time to answer; your picture alone was inspirational! Shelly!
