To Immunize or Not to Immunize...

Since The Princess starts preschool next week I had to update her shot records. I have to admit that I was behind on her shots because of the controversy surrounding immunizations. It's scary to think about what those immunizations are made of. What's even scarier is that they might be linked to autism. She already had most of her shots, but I guess I was just trying to decide if I should inject her with even more harmful chemicals. It's stressful trying to make all the right decisions for the kids. My mom really helped with my decision. She reminded me that our generation has been really lucky that we haven't had to see children suffering from horrible diseases like Polio because of the vaccines. That really made me appreciate being so lucky to be in this country where my kids have access to life saving vaccines. I know there is another side to this...so many kids have a horrible side effect. I hope they keep working towards safer vaccines and I do admire the moms who choose not to have their children vaccinated...more power to you ;)
Anyway...The Princess was so brave. She had three shots and she didn't cry {until we got in the van...then she let it all out} She slept for about 2 hours after we got home and she had a small fever for the rest of the evening. I chose not to give her tylenol...her little body has had enough for one day.

Lessons from a drama queen...

The weather has finally been cooling off a bit...perfect for a walk in the park. The drama queen didn't want to go. {it's not cool for a teenager to be seen at the park with her parents} She also wants to go trick-or-treating with her friends instead of us this year. I keep insisting that we are very hip parents and she'll have the most fun with us. But the drama queen says that if we were really "hip" we wouldn't use the word "hip"....imagine that ;)
The Princess starts preschool next week, October 1st to be exact. She is so excited. She promised me that she won't cry when I leave. I, however, can't make that promise.

New Look Coming Soon.....

Well the time has finally come to make some changes to Princess Tatiana. I will be moving to a new host. I was having too many problems with my current host. I think you guys will like the new look. It's way easy to navigate and it's more efficient to run. I will make the change this week. The address will remain the same www.princesstatiana.com
Sign up for my newsletter if you haven't already done so. I will be sending out a Grand Opening announcement and maybe I'll have a fab, fun give away ;)
By the way, how do you guys like my new banner? It was designed by Tiffany at Scrappy Chic Boutique. Check her out!

Not a baby anymore...

Has it really been since May since I last blogged? This summer has gone by way too fast. The princess is bored of staying home with mom. She keeps asking me when is she going to go to preschool. I went to look at preschools in our town and we both liked the same one. She is going to start soon and she is so excited. As for me...I'm sad that my baby is not a baby anymore...but I am happy that she already loves learning, books and school. (I hope it stays that way)
