Every day with my little one is a new experience, and a reminder of how sweet and simple life really is. Even with yukky diapers.

More than just a toot!
Cassidy pooped in her tubby last night. I couldn't believe it! I was getting her ready to go watch daddy play an early show that was being taped on OPB, and of course I wanted her all spiffy and clean. I set her in her tub, and all of a sudden I heard this loud explosion, followed by quite a few bubbles in the water, and it did cross my mind at the time that maybe this was a little more than just some good tootin'. But I didn't see anything, so I kept letting her play in the water. Next thing I know, the little pumpkin is scooting over to the side of her tub, exposing a nice brown lump that she'd left for me. I about died!!! So I whipped her out of the water, put her on the floor on a towel, and had to figure out a recovery plan! I was laughing and cringing at the same time! I scooped out the offending lump, had to drain the rest of the water into the big tub......then of course out came the Clorox Cleanup, and I thoroughly washed both tubs, rinsed, then had to get her back into the clean water to finish up her bath! I guess the water must have been pretty relaxing.....
She had kind of a tough day yesterday. We really think she's going to walk before she crawls. She's so close to getting her legs up underneath her, and since she doesn't seem to like to be on her knees, she pulls herself up and tries to stand. We can now hold her hands, and help her pull herself up from sitting to standing with very little intervention from us. It's crazy!! But of course, with learning to walk and crawl, you also learn how to fall. When she bonks her head it just makes her soooo mad! So yesterday we had a couple of bonks, one in particular that just set her off. She was sitting on the kitchen floor and fell backwards and bumped her head. Not hard enough to really hurt, but enough to REALLY make her mad. It was the first time I couldn't get her to stop crying. I finally gave her a binkie, and she fell asleep. I felt so bad. She'd had a couple of those yesterday, once she'd bonked daddy's head, and a couple of times she'd fallen over on her gymini from her back to her tummy. Sometimes she forgets how to roll over, and it's so hard not to try and help her, but I know I've just got to encourage her to try on her own. But last night, after all of the activity and bonks, she was her same happy little girl self, smiling and giggling with me on the floor. It's amazing what absolution your child's smile can bring.....
