Darla's Mom

If you are "gifted" with soap by Darla this holiday season…
Yes, she really did much if the making. Enjoy!

Darla + Magic Eraser @realmrclean = clean base boards!

Darla crawled into my bed just after I had turned off the alarm from my phone.

2 hours later she woke me with "I peed on your bed. Mommy, it was an accident.".

1 bag of rice and 4 hours later: it works!

Also, I’ve been needing a reason to share a picture of the "life hack" I tried with the coil from an ink pen to save my charging wire.

I refilled my @luvbbw scented hand soap collection. It is easy to catch a "missed" hand wash with a sniff and it makes it rewarding for Darla and her friends (and me) to scrub and bubble.

This morning was an adventure of motherhood. I like infant children because they don’t require a lot of thought ; you just have to constantly be awake and functional . Children are more work. This morning my conversation with Darla covered the bases.

It started with her telling me that she can not taking nap at school because her Dodger blanket has wolves in it. They howl at her while she tries to nap and they keep her awake.

She was telling me that there is a girl at school who always wants to play with her but she does not want to play with this child I tried to explain to her that the appropriate response is "thank you for your patronage but this is establishmet does not serve your ilk". Then she told me that she doesn’t want to play with anybody at school and she just wants to be left alone but then she doesn’t know why she is alone.
3 year olds are complicated people

FYI parenting 411. The difference between parenting a teen vs a toddler is the length of your shower before guilt and worry prompts you to dry off.

Yau! Still in her bed , and still holding the glow glue stick

Are so cool! Darla fell asleep while playing with 2 of them. I melted a 3rd and put dots on her cubbies and lamp and light switch so when the lights are turned iut, she has something to look at and think about other than "it’s dark and I can’t see anything!".

It worked!
But it will probably only work tonight. She is smart and catches on to all of my nefarious plans to keep my bed all to myself.
