Monday, July 10th, 2006Tonight at dinner Mimi smeared mashed potatoes all over her head. I told Kimberly and Annie that we were eating with Miss Potato Head. They thought it was funny when they saw Mimi. She, of course, went straight to the bath!
Annie’s recovery
Sunday, July 9th, 2006Last night was a bear! Annie began vomiting yesterday afternoon and continued into the night. It was not the normal bloody vomit that is expected after surgery like this. It was just everything and anything that was down in her tummy. After consulting the Dr. at 2:30 am we do believe that perhaps it was [...]
Our Little Patient
Friday, July 7th, 2006Earlier this morning our darling Annie had her tonsils and adenoids surgically removed at Paradise Valley Hospital. It was a very tough decision for us and involved wrestling back and forth over the course of several months. In the end, we concluded that it was the best thing for her since her speech wasn’t improving [...]
Nacho Nacho Man
Thursday, July 6th, 2006“Mommy, it’s not a chip. It’s a nacho.” – Kimberly, after Sandi implored her to eat a chip from her Nacho Supreme. [UPDATE: Dang! I guess I need to read the site before I post these things. ]
Dinner conversation
Thursday, July 6th, 2006“Pick up a chip and eat it” – Mommy “These are not chips they are nachos” – Kimberly Laughing my butt off. She insisted that they were no longer chips!
The End
Wednesday, July 5th, 2006Tonight I put Madeline to sleep without a bottle, making it the third time today that she didn’t get a bottle of milk. We were so worried that she would fuss and cry for her lost love, but it turns out that we should have relied on past experience. It was uneventful: I rocked her [...]
It’s official
Wednesday, July 5th, 2006Annie and Kimberly are potty trained. It happened several weeks ago I just forgot to post about it. They no longer wear pull ups when we go out. They rarely ever have accidents. They are so grown up. They love to use public bathrooms. They still wear diapers at night. No big deal to me [...]
Some distressing news.
Tuesday, July 4th, 2006**This entry is not for the faint of heart, plenty of gory details.** It is no secret that I have never had a good relationship with my uterus. I have been having serious bleeding issues ever since I was 17. Either I was never bleeding or I was bleeding way too much. Last week I [...]
Last bottle
Tuesday, July 4th, 2006Today was Madeline’s last bottle. We have been weaning her for a month now. First we took her morning bottle away. No biggie she took that one in stride. Then came her afternoon bottle. She was not so happy about that one. She had been drinking it down just before her big nap. It relaxed [...]
Magical wipes
Monday, July 3rd, 2006How on Earth did we ever get away without having these on hand? All the kids are asleep and Bill and I are just relaxing. We put in a DVD to watch and he needs wipes to clean it off since at some point the children had gotten their grossness on it. Will we ever [...]
Annie must sense it.
Sunday, July 2nd, 2006She has been very clingy lately. At church this morning she actually cried when Aunt Steph and I left the room. I highly doubt that she understands that next Friday she will be having surgery but it all seems like she does. She wants me to hold her all the time and seems nervous that [...]
Clean up crew
Saturday, July 1st, 2006Annie has taken to cleaning up the Penny poops from the yard. She is very careful about it. She gets her pail and her shovel and cleans it up. When she is done she brings the bucket to you so you can discard it all. I am impressed with her gumption to take care of [...]
Hungry
Saturday, July 1st, 2006“Hey Mom! Do you need your marshmallows” – Annie Said when bringing me my cotton balls.
