Nothing too special to report about day one. The girls were, for the most part, well-behaved. M. had a 30 minute period where she refused to stop touching C.\u2019s head, no matter how many times I told her to stop. When I was trying to get everyone out the door for a quick trip to Target after dinner, she asked me if we were going to Costco at least 8000 times. (This is a normal trick for her, but she normally only asks about 2000 times.) She was well behaved at Target, I let her free-lance rather than ride so she could burn off some energy. Of course, she likes to run about 20 feet in front of you and look back at you instead of watching around her. One day she\u2019s going to get plowed over by someone else who isn\u2019t watching.
\nAnother first I didn\u2019t think of. I had to fix M.\u2019s hair for the first time ever. I\u2019m fine with washing and conditioning it. Before it got really long, I would throw some mousse into it to get the \u2018fro working. But S. has always handed the pony\/pigtails. Sure, I\u2019ve watched plenty of times, but I\u2019ve never given it a go myself. It makes my stomach hurt to think of dragging a comb through all those curls. Her hair was a disaster by the end of the day, so there was no way I could take her out looking like she did. I think S. might have given me a C+\/B- for my effort, but it wasn\u2019t completely awful. I used the comb as sparingly as possible.
\nNow if C. can just sleep tonight. We\u2019ve totally reverted as the teething has kicked in. We\u2019re back up to getting up with her twice a night. Is it wrong to triple her Motrin dose to get her through the night? Yes that\u2019s wrong, it could kill her? Great. I better hold myself to one beer tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
