I chopped my hair off today. Well, technically not me, but the lady at Ulta. I've been wearing an inverted bob haircut for about 3 years. I took the lady this picture of Sienna Miller. My haircut doesn't look exactly like that...she cut it a lot shorter on top than this picture, but it is nice and comfortable. It'll be where I want it in about 3 weeks.
And, oh, the blessed summertime has arrived. So much sunshine and warmth...I love it. We get to go swimming on Monday. Bitty loves to swim, she's such a little fishy. She's battling the teething demons and ear infections. Poor kid is on her third ear infection, and is duking it out like a champ. Her fever was pretty high last night, but it didn't seem to bother her. She's doing so much these days. Finally started crawling and is now pulling up on things. She loves to dig all the books out of her bookcase and spread them out. She claps and finds that hilarious. She gives us "head bonks" when we ask for them. She talks to herself when playing and loves to be around people and other children. Parent's Day Out is closed for two weeks, then back open for 1 month, then closed until September! Yikes.
My niece, Hope, should be born any day now. Alana is past her due date and we are anxiously awaiting Hope's arrival. My sister-in-law Meggan is also expecting! She's due in January. Babies are everywhere in the Warfel family right now.
Cloth diapering continues to be successful. Even Jeremy got on board with it, and says he didn't think it would pan out. He was skeptical, but says I converted even him! I love the people at Green Mountain Diapers. They are so helpful! I use their 100% cotton flat diapers (called Clotheez) and their Workhorse diapers (Clotheez cut into a fitted diaper). I favor diaper covers from Bummi's and Thirsties, and I think flushable liners and GENIUS (I use the ones from Imse Vimse--no scraping poopie diapers out in the toilet! Just peel off the flushable liner and voila!). I wash diapers each evening. 1 cycle in cold/cold, one cycle in hot/cold with a disinfectat (I use Borax). Our water bill hasn't even suffered. Win-win!
