We had our last summer popsicles with neighbors last night. Elena finally got one of her very own for the first time (she normally just mooches off the moms). It was cool enough yesterday that I had her in long sleeves and jeans all day, but when the kids came out with popsicles- well, who can resist?! So, Ian McC. handed out one to each friend and they all proceeded to load up with sugar and dye coloring. Elena was in heaven with her blue rasberry.
Then, all of the sudden, we hear Maggie crying and freaking out. And justifyably so- a bee had flown onto her popsicle just as she put it in her mouth. So she feels it sting her tongue and then realizes THERE IS A BUG IN MY MOUTH! Much crying, concern from the other kids, and Benedryl followed, with the conclusion that the bees are officially out (they start stinging from about now until November) and there will be no more sugary treats outside!

Hey Jen-
Thanks so much for the hair tips. I have been trying to figure out what I am going to do because she hates for me to comb through it now. I was dreading when she got older. Couple of questions: Would you use it now while she is still little or would you wait until she gets older? Also, does Elaina have problems with dry scalp? Karis has what looks like dead skin on her scalp. I was thinking it was cradle cap, but hasn't she gotten too old for that?
Thanks for your advice!!
Ashley
