24 Hrs of A

Warning: There will be discussion of potty habits in this post so if you don't want to know, please stop reading now.

Tuesday 5:30 am:
"momma"
"Momma"
"MMMOOOOMMMMMAAAA"

This is way too early for A and I to be up, but I drag myself out of bed and go to see what is going on. I am talking to her as I walk through the house to her room, turn on the light and what is the first thing I see in her crib...a diaper and it is not attached to the baby in the room. Obviously she is upset which is why she is up so early so I get her out wipe her down (probably should have just given her a bath when I realized how many wipes I used) and got her dressed. Yes, the bedding and nigh-nigh (A's favorite thing in the world) are soaked in pee. Do a load of laundry before work and we are off to school.

Tuesday 6:00 pm:
"Ada come her, lets try your Halloween costume on"
"no"
"come her"

Running away, tears, yelling and then there it is...the half made costume is on the kid.
"NO, NO, Don't do that" - she is tearing it apart because she hates it so much.

An hour later she is in bed and I am searching the Internet for more ideas since she obviously isn't going with the original plan. Grant senses that I am upset and tells me to stop looking, because she will probably like it tomorrow. Mean while there is a dead chicken laying in the middle of my living room floor.

Wednesday 6:30 am:
"Ada, it's time to wake up now"

Light on and yay, the diaper is still in her butt - BUT WAIT - it is only half way on and then she looks at me and says "eeewwww". Yes, there is was, poop all over the blankets and nigh-nigh. So yes, another morning of cleaning, laundry and this time rushing because it is later in the morning and I HAVE to be downtown for an HR meeting at 8:00.

To top it all off A walks by the dead chicken on the living room floor and firmly says "NNNOO" and starts pointing at it. What she will be for Halloween, only Sunday knows!

Just wanted to share what 24 hrs can look like in my house even when I go to work all day. Oh and you are welcome for not sharing any photos (I didn't have the energy to find the camera at that time of the morning.)
