So I have a few gripes.
1. Damn allergies. This morning Ella had her first introduction to cow's milk. Today was supposed to be "liberation day" for our formula weary pocket books. We happily purchased milk at the local store. Organic? Yep. Hormone Free? Yep. We don't want her onset of puberty to begin while still in diapers. Seriously, I just read an article about six year olds developing pubic hair (doctors are attributing this to hormone exposure in milk). I digress. Milk properly mi
xed with her current formula as to not shock her system? You bet. Soon after her first swig, hives appeared all over her chin and neck. Poised and ready for anaphylactic shock Jerry and I stood vigil. Now that her symptoms are starting to subside the research begins. Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, goat milk. Protein content, sugar content, pros and cons...so much to consider. Must call Laura.
2. Toy packaging. Why are hedge clippers and a circular saw needed to get to a child's toy? Seriously.
3. Payback is a "B"...please note the capital lettering used. In the ignorance of youth, Jerry and I may have selected some unsavory toys for our cousin's kids. What was there not to love about a silly string shooting Spider Man web? Did they not appreciate the garbage bag full of Happy Meal toys? We return home yesterday with a Rockin' Guitar Elmo. He sings a tune that burrows a hole in your ears and brain leaving a permanent scar. I don't know if I will ever recover. Thank you Garcia family.

I thought the "REYES" family got that for us. Ella does love that Elmo though and does a little dance when he sings...I'm heading out to the store to buy a year's worth of silly string to refill that Spiderman toy.
ReplyDeleteDon't test us Reyes family. Double payback is twice as fun!
