Bug Box

One of the rewards on Ami's poopy chart was a trip to the Bug Box. 5 poops rewarded her the trip.

 

This bee toy was probably her favorite thing at the Bug Box. She didn't want to leave it. 

I Don't Feel Like Going Into Detail About Our Potty Woes....

But I do need to come up w a new plan.

I don't exactly know what her issue is, but it is a poop issue. I am being more compassionate and trying to understand.

So....

I am making the potty more interactive.

She took pictures of her potty and I photoshopped them so she can color them.

I made a poop chart w super fancy stickers.
We're taking pictures of every poop and printing them out for her poopy book.

Ugh.

Wtf, man.  Haha.

You do what you gotta do, right?

Thursday the 12th

The bout in Roanoke is coming up. It's on Sunday! I'm tripping out about it. -sigh-
Derby practice today was good tonight. I think i worked harder than i thought i did cuz i'm laying in bed still woobly.
I have been battling some demons and dealing w post partum which probably started the big demon battle.
I've acknowledged my perfectionism and am working on changing my  mechanics.
it's really hard but i want to be a functioning being-  fullfilling and amazing.
Also, my family is ridiculously awesome.

Superstar!! (I can't believe I hadn't posted this one yet)

Ami's Superstar Celebration!!!

"I Pooped!!! I Pooped In My Diaper, Mumma!!!" (I dug this draft up from the tar pits)

I've been exhausted these past couple of days.

I feel like I could sleep all day.

The Big One and the Little One have been having fun, though. They're eating and sleeping a lot.  I told Ami, "Your body is telling you, 'I'm growing!!!'"

I had derby practice Sunday morning which resulted in PAIN!
I'm getting good at thinking about getting low.

We paired up a couple of times for drill and such. I was Papers' partner. We were pushing each other around the track. She pushed me after I pushed her and nearing the end of our time, the coach said, "Papers', I want you to pass them (the other pair). So we went faster around the curve of the track.  We ended up eating pavement- her on top of me.

She felt so bad I couldn't bare to let her see my scrapes. I told her I was fine - and I really was... They were just scrapes.

I've been working on playing Vitalogy songs.  I've got Corduroy down pretty much and am working on Tremor Christ, Satan's Bed, and Immortality.

Like I said before, Ami has been eating like a monster. She's been having two breakfasts and lunch following shortly after. She eats a bowl of 5 grain breakfast hot cereal and an hour later, we'll give her Puffins or toast w a banana or whatever fruit w have.

She's completely potty trained, except she doesn't want to poop in the potty. For a while there, she would hold it in until she got her night time diaper on or beyond and she was so uncomfortable.
This is why I've been encouraging her to poop in general, diaper or potty (diaper).
This is why last night while we were chillin in bed after bath, she said, "I Pooped!!!  I Pooped In My Diaper, Mumma!!!"   Haha... Uh.... "Yay!!!"

Oh!! I almost forgot about yesterday.
Ami rarely has accidents but yesterday she was sitting on Papa and playing on her LeapPad when she said, "Did I pee on you?"

Papa said, "What? Did you pee?"
"No."
"You DID pee!!!!   On ME!!!"

Haha.  Oh Ami...

Ollie has been growing! She's talking up a storm, rolling over, grabbing toys and putting them up to her mouth as she plays in her jungle.

I worked today.

It was just for one parent tot class and it was pretty fun.

I had a good time.

Ollie is creeping and reaching and is being amazing.

Ami has been in rare form there past couple of days and driving me up the wall:) She's a bundle of energy.

Luckily,  we ate some really good food today. It didn't wear her out or hype her up:)

Breakfast was yogurt from grass fed cows, strawberries and banana.

She had some of Papa's egg and bagel.

For lunch we had red banana, orange and yellow sweet pepper, sugar snap peas, Somersaults (salty crunchy sunflower bites), raw red bell pepper chips, and dry roasted edamame.

For dinner, spinach, raspberries, whole wheat cheese tortellini, and black bean hummus.

One snack consisted of a portion of a z bar and the other was strawberries, dried apricots and peanut butter bumpers w soy milk.

We played outside, of course, because it was a gorgeous day. It's been crispy and delicious.

For some reason my phone has been acting weird. It won't take pictures anymore.
