Crew is allergy ridden. Ugh. I guess I finally found something about Texas that I don't like. I don't know what's going on with his feet. It's weird. I'm guessing it's something in the yard??? He comes in the house with little blisters all over his toes and fingertips.
No, I haven't taken him in. I think kids are over doctored these days. (these days?? really? I'm getting old enough to say these days?) Seriously. I'm sorry but come on people! Figure it out. There are obviously plenty of reasons to take a kid in... but chill. I digress. It has gotten to a point that I do need to have him see an allergist- if only so I know what I'm dealing with. He wakes up in the middle of the night scratching to death. I DON'T do well in the middle of the night. Or the morning. That's why I "encourage" my sweet babies to sleep through the night... pronto. I have figured out some basics- a soapy shower after he plays outside helps a lot. It's a pain, but it helps. The sneezy boogery face however, has got to go. Gross.
Oh boy. I admit it- I hate it when my kids feed themselves. In fact, I don't let them. Pyper's 10 and Elle is almost 8 and there are no long term affects of a mom that insisted on spoon feeding them. I hate the clean up of it all. Enter Tyke. This kid is SUPER chill... BUT he definitely has a few things that there is no compromising on. Such as- food. He refuses to let me feed him.
He pretty much stopped eating... and when your a kid who is ALMOST in the 3rd percentile on the growth chart, you can't really afford to miss a meal. We have a highchair. A nice one. An expensive one. It's big, and hard to clean, and he hates it. Great.
Hello Phil and Ted. Oh how I love this company. I found a rad little chair that clips on to the table. I don't live under a rock. I know these have been around for a long time- but mostly I think they are just gross. This one can take a beating, then sit in the sink while I spray the entire thing clean. Best of all he adores it! He likes anything that makes him feel big (again, the 3rd percentile) Maybe that's why he climbs.
He sits in this chair eating for quite awhile... I anticipate big numbers on the growth chart. Watch out 5th percentile! We're gunning for you!

Oh no! Poor Crew! That does NOT sound fun! What does DR. Dad think?
I'm totally with you on the spoon feeding babies thing! I don't let them feed themselves anything messy till they are like 5! HaHa! Just kidding! But really, I hate the mess! Glad the P&T chair is working for you! Tyke is such a cutie!
Poor guy! Those toes look so sad! I am so with you on the kids feeding themselves thing. I seriously don't let them until they are three, maybe two:) Not to mention I still make Rylynn and Carter use sippy cups so I don't have to worry about spills. It's just easier that way. We have only ever had the little chair high chairs cause the big ones are so huge and annoying to clean. We can just stick ours in the dishwasher! Love it! Also, have you ever tried the Aveeno oatmeal bath packets with Crew? That works really well on my kids and they have all the annoying skin problems. They love it too.
good luck with that! oh man! i understand those chairs that hook onto the table...i basically threw ours away b/c it 1. stinks horribly & 2. started tearing & 3. chumby wouldn't stay in it anymore. at least tyke is happy with his!:) good luck on all fronts. and i am glad crew is starting to talk...it's so funny!
I am so with you on the mess babies make when they insist on feeding themselves. Dang babies wanting to grow and be big. If they would just listen to us mom's who know what is best!
