I always wanted a side pony tail just like Cindy Lauper but my mom insisted on piggie tails. Well I showed her by simply cutting one of the piggie tails off. I got my side pony tail for a good year and a half. That doesn't mean that I won't totally FREAK out when London does it. I'll have to go back and read this blog post again. You make me laugh so hard!!!Chip and Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774818178363115298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-56116452021153182532008-09-14T14:50:00.000-06:002008-09-14T14:50:00.000-06:00ok just read your blog-wish i knew how to post the...ok just read your blog-wish i knew how to post the picture of you at age four with your hair in pigtails and your bangs completely cut off!! this is obviously a genetic thing. oh and fyi- the whole "i dont have a mother i live by myself and drive a car" attitude at age seven- yeah that was you too!:) i'm happy to say i can assure you they will grow out of ALL of it! i love you mompaula shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541605558268788439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-56975633838252713652008-09-10T22:53:00.000-06:002008-09-10T22:53:00.000-06:00Karen, where are you on your blog?

Way to keep your cool. Trust me, I feel your pain. Jackson has advised me not to even try to hug or kiss him goodbye for school unless the blinds are closed (no kidding). When did these boys turn 15 already? Oh, and my kids played PacMan on Dalton's blog for like an hour last week--they think it's the coolest!

I am sorry about Shelby's hair, at least she has hair to cut.... <BR/>It is crazy to believe that our boys are in second grade, where has the time gone only shown by the black rings under my eyes and the wrinkles here and there. Anyhow thanks for being such a great example, I am always wondering what works as far as punishment, and obviously dessert is the key.The Jones'https://www.blogger.com/profile/00695819331981104907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-65297396812710992042008-09-06T16:51:00.000-06:002008-09-06T16:51:00.000-06:00Ashley - no, Charlie's not technically co-sleeping...Ashley - no, Charlie's not technically co-sleeping. Except for the nights when I can't handle getting out of my bed for the 50th time - on those nights, he sometimes msteriously appears in our bed. Half the time, I don't even remember bringing him in. Sometimes I wish I weren't such a light sleeper...<BR/><BR/>But Chris does NOT like it when he wakes up to find Charlie in our bed. In fact, the other day I was looking at pictures on his phone and saw one of me sleeping with Charlie next to me. I said, "When did you take THIS?!" He said, "The other day. It's proof you're still letting Charlie in our bed." Ha. <BR/><BR/>Things actually have improved since we got Charlie a real crib a few weeks ago (as opposed to the Pack 'N Play), so it's really only every OTHER night he's a wreck. <BR/><BR/>We tried the Ferber method a few weeks ago - what a nightmare. I don't know if I have what it takes to attempt it again. We'll have to figure something else out...and maybe I should have a look at that book you mentioned. <BR/><BR/>So here's to hoping that by six months, EVERY night is a good night...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-12825330886139102722008-09-05T17:48:00.000-06:002008-09-05T17:48:00.000-06:00Hi Ashley, it's Cami.

I totally hacked into your blog after seeing your comment on "seriously so blessed" hope that's all right. i would flip if my kids cut their hair. mine never did that. thank goodness. i did it when i was a kid though. i even did it when i was 15 years old. i really messed it up bad.<BR/>your son is a hoot. man, he's starting early with the "embarrassed of mom" attitude, huh? my son is 11 and still hugs and kisses me in front of anyone, anywhere. i keep expecting him to get "too cool" for it, but he seems to think it's something to be proud of. <BR/>i never got embarrassed of my parents. i think some kids are just like that, and some aren't. it doesn;t have ANYTHING to do with the mom personally. it;s just one of those weird kid quirks.ktmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517779862615822735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-89553220613098666182008-09-05T10:30:00.000-06:002008-09-05T10:30:00.000-06:00Hey Charlotte, don't tell me that your 5 month old...Hey Charlotte, don't tell me that your 5 month old is doing the same thing to you...ugh! I was totally hoping that Garrett would outgrow this, like TOMORROW! Are you co-sleeping with your little guy? I had to put Garrett in his crib at night. When he is in bed with me, he's like a heat-seeking missile, and is trying to latch on to me ALL night. One night he got my arm by mistake, and I woke up with a HUGE hickey on my arm! Oh, I found this book called "Why is my baby crying". It is super-old, but was pretty helpful. Have you read it? <BR/><BR/>Kimberly, I forgot that picture day IS coming up at Shelby's pre-school..grrreat! Why couldn't she have done this at the BEGINNING of the summer? Oh well, maybe she can wear her Hannah Montana wig for picture day!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161598687324879363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-11172997514606059322008-09-04T15:19:00.000-06:002008-09-04T15:19:00.000-06:00What a day!

Someday you'll be cool again to him, and at least Garrett still thinks you're awesome, right? (Yeah, Charlie thinks I'm awesome, too. Especially at 1:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Love him to death, but wish I could get a good night's sleep now that he's FIVE MONTHS OLD. He was up until 11 last night, just like Garrett, rolling around and laughing his head off - except when I'd try to leave. Why isn't he that happy during the afternoon???)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
