I take Pyper to day care just about every time she has to go, we love it – I “dress her down” and “why is that” my wife asks?? Well I don’t want the other kids to feel inadequate because she is so beautiful I say in a half joking, cavalier attitude type voice!! Now my wife is very beautiful – well to me anyway, and I think because of her we have a beautiful looking little girl also. We have some polorfleece type material clothes for Pyper and they keep her warm when she is at daycare, but what i have noticed lately is that we haven’t actually ever cut her hair, we trim her nails and they grow like wild fire, and because I dress her in the same clothes everytime she goes to day care, I kept getting asked why don’t you dress her in the cute clothes that we brought for her?

I sound like I’ve just brought a new car here – but it seems like we only just got her home from the damn hospital and already she is off to bloody “little school” – yep pathetic as I am I kept saying to Renee “that I didn’t want her going to day care as she doesn’t need to go there” I mean what more could she want in life a damn over protective father, who home schools her for the rest of her life to stop her from leaving home?? ... read more >>
