Major EW of the day
As I am helping Celia choose clothing, she insists on having an undershirt, which is basically a plain white tshirt underneath anything she is wearing. I got her a clean one and she said "oh, I can just wear the one I am wearing". I told her "Sweetie, you slept with that under your jammies, and you wore it all day yesterday, you need a clean one."
She proceeded to tell me, because it was an undershirt, and it isn't on the outside, you don't get them dirty. At mommy's house, she wears them "three days". Now, I am not always inclined to believe everything the nearly 5 yr old says, however, she has been pretty stinky everytime I see her, always needing a bath. Her hair seems to only get fixed weekly at best (when we had her hair trimmed and I put a pretty elaborate braid in, it was still in and full of dirt two weeks later. It looked really gross. It was so bad, taking it out, washing and conditioning all weekend and it was still nasty.) Both children seem to never get nail trims except at our house.
I admit, when we don't get much time with them, I have sent them back as nasty as they came, but usually they go home vastly improved, and at the very least clean.
