Re: Mya's 2nd Band Update

[Guest guest]

Christi:

What a smartie pants Mya is ! Sorry she didn't re-adjust to it as

you had hoped. Hopefully she'll forget about it again soon & go back

to her content & happy little self with it on.

Lots of parents have had their child try to take the band off and

pull at the velcro. Many have put duck tape over the velcro - that

way the baby cannot pull the velcro off, it works great from what

I've heard.

I think I've also read of parents putting a diaper pin thru the

velcro to keep it shut too......not positive about that though!

Good luck....only 2 more days til your husband comes home!!

YIPPEE.....also so glad your A.C. is fixed, how nice of your church

members to come fix it so fast for you!

Christi,

I'm sorry Mya is off to a rocky start. I hope she gets used to it

again very soon!! I know I've read either on this board or the other

board about ways to keep your baby from opening/taking off

their band. Maybe you should search the archives?

That was really nice of your church members to fix your air!!

I don't know about your dogs,if they were mine, I'd tie them up!!

Please let us know how Mya is doing in her band, over the weekend.I'm

sure we won't be hearing from you, the first couple of days the Hubby

is home! Have a great time!!

WEll Mya slept fine in the band last night. She seems to be doing

better in it today. She hasnt messed with the velcro at all today.

But she has yanked at the band a couple of times. But its getting

much better she isnt pulling at it as much. And shes let me take it

off and on a couple times so I could get her dressed and pull her

hair into a little pony tail. so Im glad for that. Well I did chain

the one dog up and she ended up getting out of the yard anyway with

the chain still on her. She was just on the opposite side of the

fence stuck there. So I had to go out and fix it. So I tried to move

her so she wouldnt be close to the fence so what does she do then.

Breaks the chain because she kept running so hard and choking herself

that it eventually brokeand she got out of the yard again.SO i had to

attempt to fix it and chain her with a shorter chain since she broke

it. Shes been on the chain since I fixed it for about 4 hours. Im

hoping it will last till monday and then can deal with her. I

got to see last night, I snuck out there. It was sooo good to

see him. Im hoping I will get to see him again tonight.

Christi,

Try putting a hairclip around both courses of velcro at the point

where the band is open. Not the type of hair clip that click closed,

but the simple type that you need to push the metal aside/uder

another peice. (Sorry this is hard to describe.) Adele got the

velcro off once on her first band, and I just happened to have a

hairclip that was just long enough to go over the width of the

velcro. It worked perfectly, and she didn't bother with it again.

Christi -

Hope Mya is readjusting better to band #2.

Are your dogs in heat? That might be a reason why they are suddenly

trying to escape.

I know I sound like Bob Barker, but " Get your pets spayed and

neutered! " You know how he always says that at the end of TPIR? I

know Debbie and Kellie will recognize that!
