Happy Happy Birthday... to Shawn!!
Today my best's friend first born is a big ol' 3 years young! It hasn't been that great of a birthday for him because the poor guy hasn't been feeling well the entire day. He didn't even wanna swim or play at the pool! This is a rarity for this kiddo 'cause he is a water wizard :-D Happy 3rd Birthday kiddo!!
Ahh yes... the pool... we met Ashley & Shawn today at the Mifflinburg pool. It didn't go over very well. We couldn't put Delilah in her floaty thing because she cried so I had to hold her the entire time (I don't mind because that means I get lots of snuggle time!). However we have a little problem with the pool- Delilah now does not like the bath tub. Last night John went to give Delilah a bath & she started crying. We thought maybe it was because I wasn't home to give her a bath with him but we discovered that this was not the case. Tonight when we went to give her a bath- since last night was a bust- I went to place her in the tub & she started crying. I picked her up & comforted her. Then tried to put her back in. That wasn't working. So we got her infant tub & put that in the tub filling it with water. That too was not working. I ended up having to get in with her & hold her under the shower head while John washed her. Poor baby. I'm not sure what to do because we can't not take her to the pool as she won't get used to it. But we also can't have bath time go this way either.
Pet peeves- you name them, I got them. Lots of them. A big one I have is when someone thinks it's ok to just give your child food without asking permission. I mean what are they thinking when they do this? You don't give anything to anyone's kid without asking permission. For us there are foods you just don't give at certain ages & stages, there's the possibility of food allergies if a food is given too early, there's personal preference as to what you want to feed your child. Another thing that really bothers me about this whole subject is if the food given would've been a first. There's nothing more special than any type of first a parent witnesses with their child. It creates memories & once that's gone you don't get that first back. Regardless of whether or not that child remembers it it was still a first for the parent & it was taken away. It is plain rude & inconsiderate to just assume you can give someone's child something without asking permission. I don't care how anyone else parents, what anyone else thinks is right for their kids, how anyone else does whatever they do when raising their child, or what they think of how we've decided to raise ours. I will raise ~my~ daughter how I think is best & by what I feel is right because I am her mother.

As for the pet peeve... I 110% agree with you... NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE give my child something with out my permission. Who would have the nerve to do something like that... and to take away a special first that is to be shared between you and the child YOU gave birth to. Some people have no tact! I'm sorry for what was ruined for you... (((hugs)))
