Today I enjoyed a salon appointment all by myself. I had four inches cut off my ratty hair.
Little did I know that those four inches had been camouflaging my post-pregnancy rolls of back fat. ~sigh~
I arrived home to a very happy diaper-clad John eating one of his favorite foods (pepperoni) with Daddy.
At John's 12-month pediatrician appointment, we were asked if he tries to draw with crayons. I answered, "I don't know! I've never allowed him to have a crayon!" Tonight at dinner at a restaurant, we gave him the crayons and paper and away he went!

Pretty hair, Katherine! 4 inches is a lot....could you feel the difference in the weight of your head on or in your shoulders?
ReplyDeleteLet me say that the Crayola WASHABLE crayons are the best!!! Honestly I don't know how they are different from the others, but they DO come out of clothes when the little ones decide to chew the crayon and then promptly drool it back out. LOL

You look great, Katherine! I'm glad you were able to pamper yourself! I'm glad to see that John is coloring with crayons...seems he'll enjoy our Christmas gift :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Ashley has had a good experience with washable crayons, but after using those for a year b/c I thought they'd be better, I switched to the regular nontoxic crayons forever. Personally I hate washable crayons because they run all over the clothes and carpet instead of staying in pieces like regular crayons. I agree they are harder to wipe off the table or walls, but to me it is worth it not to have drooled mushy crayon on stuff every time they come out of the box.
ReplyDeleteDeSolv It works great on regular crayon, btw if you choose to use that. Also a drop of ammonia on a washcloth works well.
Sarah: Are regular Crayola crayons non-toxic or do you buy a special brand? Does that mean washable crayons are toxic? I haven't delved into this world yet . . .
ReplyDeleteNo, any kid's crayons will say non toxic on the box.
ReplyDeleteI imagine there are some artist crayon brands that are somewhat toxic. Maybe that is why the distinction?
