American Girl Dolls!

Belle's Samantha and Emily's Molly. From Girl AGain Boutique in White Plains.
Belle was one hundred percent on board with a refurbished doll because she values recycling. Belle's reaction made me cry.

More parenting adventures

In the process of tidying the playroom, this happened. Am I in for seven years of bad luck?

Success!

I removed the putty with minimal hair loss thanks to loads of hair conditioner.
Another skill I did not think I would acquire... putty removal and stain removal and how to deal with a car sick kid. Can I put these skills on a resume?

Belle got off the bus with her friend's silly putty stuck in her hair. Fun times.
