Vaccines etc. ⇒

Elise had her first round of vaccines the other day. I don't know who it was worse for, her or me! Thankfully, Erin came with me and he held her while they poked her with four needles (2 in each leg). That's my version of good cop, bad cop. Poor kid, on the third needle, she cried so hard no sound came out and she was looking up at Erin with these big blue eyes as if to say "Why?why are you doing this to me?"

We've tried cloth and four brands of disposable diapers: Huggies, Pampers, Western Family and Kirkland

In last place - Western Family. They held out ok for leaks but they are so stiff! I actually returned them because I couldn't fathom letting Elise suffer the chaffing that would no doubt ensue as she kicks her legs so much.
