Any plans for the weekend ladies? It looks like it's going to be stellar here so we're going to hang around home and get some yard work done. We'll probably haul out the little pool and sprinkler for the boys too.

Daisy has pooped while Cash is in his gymnastics class every week for the last 4 weeks. So you'd think I'd have remembered to check my diaper bag before we left. But I didn't.

So she pooped, a huge nasty poop too & I took her out to the car to change her and discovered I had no diapers, no pull ups, nothing.

Now she is working on potty training and does really well at home when she has no bottoms on. But when she is dressed, she forgets to ask to go pee most of the time. Or she tells me she has to go as she is going. And we had another 40 minutes until Cash was done with class. I really didn't want to risk her peeing on the floor in there...so I did the only thing I could think of. I stuck a maxi-pad in her shorts :blush:

To my credit, it worked, she peed once and it contained it, but I still felt really bad about it. Gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. ]]> The Kiddie Pool lilbunnygirl http://www.mothershideaway.com/forums1/showthread.php?t=20241 Marcia http://www.mothershideaway.com/forums1/showthread.php?t=20240&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 00:43:22 GMT Your gift will be on its way tomorrow.

The second one popped up right next to her first one. My other kids didn't get teeth until more later so I didn't even suspect she was teething before I accidentally found the 1st one. Less than 2 weeks later, the second one arrived.

:hula:

I can't believe she's getting ready to turn 7 months old! I finally took her out of the bassinet and she slept for the first time in her new bed which is a pack n play. It's more practical for her to sleep in one of those until she transitions to a toddler bed or twin because we do so much traveling we can take it with us.

Her hair is finally starting to grow too, or rather thicken up. She begun eating a little food. It's not regular or every day but she's had carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, yogurt, pears, and some combo fruit. She's like all of them so far.

What I first assumed was a milk protein allergy is probably not. I went low carb to get rid of the thrush and stayed on to help with the weight loss. Well, her skin is beautiful since I've gone low carb. We had a grad open house last weekend and I ate whatever I wanted. That included a small serving of pasta, a bread roll, and a salad with croutons. By evening, her face was all broke out. I am wondering if there is some kind of gluten or wheat allergy going on. Anyone have any guesses? Since eating low carb again, her face is back to normal. Oh, and she had oatmeal one night and puked it up. I thought it was because she ate too much. A couple of weeks later I tried it again and she threw it up everywhere.

Any kids here with wheat, grain, or gluten allergies or sensitivities? ]]> The Kiddie Pool Carmen http://www.mothershideaway.com/forums1/showthread.php?t=20231 Adoption special http://www.mothershideaway.com/forums1/showthread.php?t=20230&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 22:22:20 GMT There is a show on TLC tomorrow night sharing the journey of 3 birthmoms.

I got Anthony a little booklet for hangman -it has tons of hangman templates and you just have to fill it in as you play- and taught him to play today. While he was thinking of a word to stump me he came up with "metamorphosis" (in his head) and then goes "Aw man, it won't fit." (There are only 12 spaces for letters). I can't believe he was going to use that on me. :hehe:

Then, some time over the weekend, CJ found a picture from his high school state track competition. He saved the picture to the desktop. Today, Anthony gets on the computer and sees the picture and asks if CJ was in the Olympics (:lol:) and then goes on and on about how HE wants to race in the Olympics THIS YEAR and that CJ needs to be his trainer. Then he told me that I could run with him on the days CJ isn't here. "And I know you're not as fast as Mr. CJ so I'll take it easy on you." :lol: He was really bummed when I told him he would have to be 16 before he can do the Olympics. :hehe:
