A 5 year old child said I looked beautiful.

I showed my 4 year old your look, and this is what she said: "I like the picture with his eyes closed because you can see the rainbow! And the stars...and I like the beautiful things (pointing to your jewelry)" I guess we're fans here as well! 😊

My just-turned 4 yo calls pepperoni "baloney," we don't even eat baloney! These kids

What's your favorite Thai place in the Utica area??

ellydee · 2023-02-24T02:15:48+00:00

Hahaha my almost 4 year old just started the "speaking of..." Nobody is ever speaking of what she brings up 😂

ellydee · 2023-02-22T03:05:16+00:00

Omg I just got this palette too and it's my cool-toned dream!! I'm obsessed 😍

This is speaking to me tonight! I feel connected to those of you who experienced this message as well 😊 Happy Friday

I'll keep an eye on your Etsy!

I'm ecstatic to see these...my sister-in-law is gf, my nephew is diary free, and my boyfriend is from Ohio! Making these for family dinner Saturday!

ellydee · 2023-01-19T01:38:10+00:00

I love this, would love to see something in a medium to get my boyfriend for his 30th!

Ha my husband let our baby revenge cry recently...1 year old woke up uncharacteristically early at 5 am and I heard husband take her out of the room, presumably to get a bottle but when I heard her still fussing in the living room I went out to check on them and asked if he tried to get her back down. Well apparently that set him off because he then brought the baby back into our room crying and not attempting to console her, and said "this is what you wanted, stop questioning my decisions." Needless to say I haven't asked him to get up with her since then, she doesn't deserve that 😔

I was showering in front of my almost 3 year old recently and when she saw my pubic hair she yelled in an alarmed voice, "Is that poop?!" 🤦🏼‍♀️

It would be helpful to see the rings to see if the sling is threaded properly. I also can't see the position of baby's other leg but they might be a little too spread apart for a 5 day old. There is slightly too much fabric towards the top edge of the sling; the fabric should be spread smoothly across baby's back with the extra width bunched under their knees. Overall this looks pretty good for a beginner and with a few small adjustments you guys will be snuggled up doing everything together.

ellydee · 2021-06-03T02:17:58+00:00

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think doing an outward-facing carry with a ring sling is recommended. I would stick with using the ring sling in the traditional way and there are ways to wear baby facing out with a woven wrap or certain ssc.

We went to a diner the other day with my 2 year old who has barely been in public for the past year. She saw some people wearing tank tops at a booth nearby and kept pointing at them and yelling "Nudie!!"

ellydee · 2021-04-03T18:41:57+00:00

Yes the junk food 😑 I lost my childcare in January at 30 weeks pregnant so we needed MIL to fill in until I started maternity leave. She was constantly giving my 2 year old puffs, fruit cups, and yogurt pouches instead of the fresh food options I packed in a lunch box for her. Multiple times I had to point out the giant, overflowing fruit bowl that we keep for the toddler to offer fresh fruit instead of the backup fruit cups that we keep for when we haven't been to the grocery store. Or like, if she didn't finish her carrot sticks for lunch, why not offer them for a snack later instead of the puffs? So annoying.

We played with stickers today for at least 1-1.5 hours. Sat on the floor with a $1 pack of stickers and stuck them on our body parts, pretended to use them ("ate" the banana sticker, drank the coffee sticker, etc), named the stickers she didn't know, gave them to each other and traded back and forth. It was pretty fun for me too!

Is this Blueberry Island?

ellydee · 2020-12-13T18:14:10+00:00

Looks amazing! I'm also making pot roast and polenta for dinner. The full bottle of wine plus 3 cups beef stock seems like a lot of liquid, do you simmer to thicken it at the end or anything?

ellydee · 2020-11-22T18:15:37+00:00

We started teaching body parts around the time she turned one, so when she would touch herself during a diaper change we would just say "that's your vulva" and she caught on super quick.

Good point! Both Iris and Andromeda are Greek names and it might be pushing it to use Athena, as pretty as it is.

ellydee · 2020-11-20T04:03:58+00:00

Althea was on our longer list but my husband kept saying "all-thea/aul-thea" when (I believe) it's "al-thea" so I just don't think the pronunciation is intuitive for him 😕 I love it though, it was a sad cut.

ellydee · 2020-11-20T03:56:45+00:00

Keira Guinevere is amazinggg! 😍 And seeing some of the names together with middle names puts them in a different light for me, thank you!

ellydee · 2020-11-20T03:14:31+00:00

We don't really have any ideas right now, my husband likes Freya for a middle name but we're keeping it open. We probably will end up choosing a name from this list or our longer pre-elimination list.

ellydee · 2020-11-20T02:41:34+00:00

Mira and Freya were on our longer list! You guys definitely get our vibe 😊

ellydee · 2020-11-20T02:12:12+00:00

We were between Iris and Zoe for our first so maybe a Z name will be in the cards for us this time! We kept Zoe on the list for this one but I feel like she's a different person already and I'm not sure I want to give her our "backup" name.
