Perm and Poop Tips

Rosa has many admirable qualities, but doesn't get the poop out as frequently as might provide her optimal comfort. We might discuss this with people (relatives) that call and inquire about her. Sometimes, these same relatives (you can have one guess) relay these tidbits to other people, in this case their hairdresser. You have to talk about something in the chair, but other people's pooping? Do you have to go there? This information is relayed on our answering machine. And that is only the beginning.

The scene opens...

Relative enters salon. "Hi, a little off the top, please."

Hairdresser approaches. Grabs brush. "How are things?"

"My "relative" isn't pooping very well."

"Have they tried the anal massage? It worked for my daughter." WOW!

"I don't know. But I love to tell them how to parent better."

"It worked like a charm. Really got the flow going." Whose filter will kick in first?

"I should tell them about it."

"Let me show you how." And she does hair too!

Apparently, at this point a demonstration was given, since full-scale baby anus models are ever present at hair salons. Advice, sure. Actual demonstration on premises? Honestly.

Rosalind Everett Lloyd arrives

August 25, 2009

It started with a standard check-up at 9:50 am for Christa. It ended with Rosalind arriving just under 12 hours later. A low heart rate at the check-up led to an induction, which surprised us both, and then a baby girl, which was less surprising since it was human.



































The E-burgers came to visit her little sis the next day. E is a bit stalker-like in her love for Rosa, but we consider it cute for the time being. She always wants to hold her and kisses her probably a hundred times a day.















She came out crying but did calm down pretty quick. A nice nap on day two.
