Scarlette got new-to-her boots and she spent all of yesterday stomping around in them ♥
.
- In my house we’ve entered the land of “why?” and so this conversation happened: “Because Llama Llama Red Pajama doesn’t belong in the dishwasher. No, your farm animals don’t belong in the dishwasher either. Because that’s not where we wash them. No, we don’t wash our farm animals in Lucy Dog’s water bowl. Because that is water for drinking. No, that’s not water for you to drink. Because you are not a dog, you are a little girl. Yes, you do have bewbies.”
- Speaking of parts of our body that are covered by our bathing suit: Scarlette has a CD called “Fun Learning Songs” and typically I’ve tuned out by song number 14. You can really only take so much of “What Sound Does An A Make, What Sound Does An A Make, Ah, Ah, Ah” before you go crazy cakes. So we’re coloring yesterday when all of the sudden I hear something on track number 18 that made be all WHAT THE WHAT?! The premise of the song is great but hearing it set to a jaunty children’s tune was a bit jarring when you’ve been singing about how lions are animals that roar.
“A grownup should never, a grown up should never: ask you to find their puppy, ask you for directions, touch you where your bathing suit covers your skin. Grownups don’t need help from children, that is wrong. Don’t get in a strangers car, don’t get in a strangers car, YELL THAT’S NOT MY MOM! YELL THAT’S NOT MY MOM!”
- Did you know that if you drop your cell phone and the screen shatters into a million pieces and then you still try to use it because you are in denial about the whole thing? You’ll get little shards of glass stuck in your fingers.
- Also, did you know that cell phones screens are made of real glass and not some sort of cut-proof fake glass? Yeah, me either.
- I tried to get in someone else’s car no less than three times this week. The only thing that tipped me off that it wasn’t my car was the lack of a carseat.
- And also that time a girl walked up to me warily and said “Um, this is my car.” That was a big clue.
- None of said cars were even the same color as my car.
- I was expecting a package but Scarlette was napping so I put a sign on top of my doorbell that said “Baby Sleeping, Please Do Not Ring Doorbell, Thanks SMILEY FACE, SMILEY FACE, EXCLAMATION POINT!”
- You, UPS man who lifted the sign about not ringing the doorbell in order to ring the doorbell, YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.
- Also, thank you kindly for the package.
About Kayla Aimee
I found your blog through the Echo Park Blog Hop and I’m really glad I did! Your posts are fantastic and always make me giggle! I will soon start trying for a baby of my own and am grateful for another young mothers outlook on motherhood, who also happens to be a crafter!
UPS is the absolute worst for ignoring the “please don’t ring the doorbell” signs! Either that or they go by the literal meaning but then they pound on the door which makes the dogs bark and voila, awake baby!
I thought you had copied a text or tweet or line from my blog or somethig else when I read about your cell phone screen! Hilarious. I managed to crack my screen (drop #1) and then completely shatter it (drop #2). BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT HELPS?! Because I literally got glass in my thumb? Those screen protector sticky sheets. It is holding the broken glass in and keeping it together and it also keeps my finger tips safer. Go get some! It’s wonderful.
You have to add “please knock” to the “do not ring the doorbell” sign. I had a service guy show up and leave again. When I asked why he said, “The sign said not to ring the bell.” Ser. i. ous. ly. ???? Dumb much?!? When did we leave the land of can’t knock on the door??!
(P.S. ignore whatever picture shows up next to my message — it’s my super computer educated sons. Not me. And I don’t know how to make it go away.)
Wait! *ENTER — *ENTER the land of “can’t knock on the door” that should say. (ironic I stated that the GUY was dumb. Pot/Kettle)
Also – I didn’t ask the guy right away, like it seems to read. I had to call the company and ask the guy later when he finally came back in yet another 4 hour window that I got to enjoy hanging out waiting for him — ’cause he was long gone the first time, since the sign said “do not ring doorbell, baby sleeping.” I still think to this day that he used it as a really bad excuse to go home early that day.
(and again this will state it’s from my son, not me. calling son over to teach me how to use the computer……)
You should have linked to your previous UPS post just for giggles! MORE giggles, that is!!!
I taped my doorbell sign over the entire doorbell so they can’t lift it without taking it off. I also try not to order stuff that requires signatures.
Just an FYI – you can get just the glass replaced. I cracked my screen a few weeks ago and was about to cough up for an entire new phone, and then found out for less than $100, you can get just the screen done!
People keep telling me this! I seriously think the Sprint people are just lying to us!
Oh, definitely don’t go to Sprint about it! I got my screen fixed at some dinky storefront called EZ Wireless or something like that. All after market parts, and I’m sure my phone’s warranty is voided now, but I don’t have insurance on it, and Verizon wasn’t going to help me anyways (unless I bought a new phone.) There’s also parts online you can buy through Amazon, and videos on how to do it yourself.
OMG! That outfit is adorable! the jeans and boots kill me.
I can’t get over the boots
OMG. Those boots are just the best. She looks absolutely adorable in that entire outfit.
1. I love the boots. My little one just got some new-to-her boots as well and they make me want to stick her in some apple-bottom jeans… except that seems inappropriate.
2. where can I get that CD? I would sing this to Betty all the time. although she hates when strangers talk to her already.
3. I love your daughter’s name. Beautiful! Aces!
Thanks! Someone gave us a pair of apple bottom jeans! And *blush* they fit so well over cloth diapers, lol! I only put them on her with a LONG shirt because I feel all self concious about them.
The CD is by twin sisters and I *think* it’s called 50 fun learning songs. We have like, a whole set so I am not sure.
