Ferrals - What exactly is farex? Your poor DSD with all those nits.... that must have been awful for her. When you described the missing bits of hair and scabs it reminded me of my poor kitty when she gets a flea bite. She's allergic so she just scratches herself to pieces and rips all her fur out..... oh it's awful enough seeing my cat like that. How could her mother allow her to get so bad??? It's unimaginable! I spent $240 in 3 months to get my cat well again, because she's part of our family and one of my babies! Ughhh I'm disgusted in that woman right now. You poor thing having to fix her mess. IKWYM about the clinginess too, my little niece is a bit like that with me. She loves me to braid her hair for her, and always wants to cuddle up and be right on top of me lol. It does drive me a bit batty sometimes but like your DSD she's a good girl and I love her. It sounds like you're exactly what E needs right now. A solid mother figure, and someone who cares! She'll come to YOU when she has a secret, or a problem, and that's the best position to be in. The more I hear about her mother, the more I wonder what your DH ever saw in her. I'm sure you've had the same thought process though..... Hooray for the bargains you got at DFO though, I got some new mummy clothes at the Brissie one when Axel was about a week old. Best fun ever!

Mildez - Sounds like you've got your hands full there hun. I get told all the time daughters are more difficult than sons. I wonder sometimes if that's true. Good luck with the battle over the haircut hehe. Tough one! How cute letting little J taste the pumpkin.. awww. Oh and I had to laugh at the incident with the pear... lmao!

Tegam - lol, you're doing well to stay away this long!

AFM - Once again Axel cries when it's time to update on me. LOL. So, another quickie. I'm a bit irritated at SIL after visiting them last night. Her 9y.o daughter was cuddling Axel a lot of the time I was there (as usual) and as we left she says to her: Oh, A, don't go outside to say goodbye it's too cold and you were up all night last night coughing and sneezing you're probably getting sick.

GREAT! Thanks for letting me know AFTER I let her hold and kiss and cuddle my baby! All I can say is fudgebucket. I hope my little man doesn't get sick.
