Quick update

Adia's still running a low grade fever. She slept better last night, but woke up at 2:30am. I apparently didn't respond fast enough because I met her in the hallway, toddling toward me. She's not terribly coordinated at night so it was funny to watch. I fell into my arms and her whole body just went limp against me. She spent the rest of the night with me. She felt hot to the touch so we slept without covers and woke up sopping wet anyway. She was up again at 5:30am, but an 8oz bottle and she was out again until almost 9! She was such a happy, silly girl when we got up, but she did pee out the side of her diaper again. They just sag too much when they get soaked.

I moved Adia's booster seat to a different position in the kitchen. She likes to push off the table and tip backwards. One of these days she's going to flip backwards and I didn't want that happening. If you pull her out so she can't push against the table, she can't reach her food. Now she's wedged between the table and the bookshelf. She can't really tip now and if she does, she won't be going very far back. She'll also be able to see out the window. Only problem will be cleaning up the food she throws on the floor.

Adia drank out milk out of her sippy today. I started putting her water cup and a sippy cup with milk within her reach at the table. If she wants water, she'll grab her cup, hold it and drink out of it. She's pretty good about not pouring it all over herself, but the problem comes when she sets it back down. About half the time it tips and pours water all over the table. She always looks so upset when that happens, but at least water's easy to clean up. She just started holding and drinking out of the sippy. She only dropped it once on the floor and managed to tip it up enough to get milk. Her only complaint, she can't dunk her waffle in the milk.



She's now fascinated with the potty chair. It has a lid that she likes lifting. Today she kept putting half a plastic egg inside of it and then taking it out and doing it all over again. She'll do it over and over again. She was so sidetracked with the chair, I was able to wash my hair before she wanted in the shower. We showered and I set her on the potty chair afterwards. She looked at me like I was crazy, but I kept asking her, "Can you tinkle on the potty?" and making a "sss" noise. She'd smile and repeat the noise back to me. After a few minutes I figured she didn't need to go so I let her get up. She stood up, squatted in front of the chair and peed! I have a feeling she knows what she's doing, but is only going to do it on her terms. I told her that the tinkle goes in the potty. She pointed at her puddle and then lifted the lid and looked in her chair. Crazy kid!

Now she's down for a nap. It was a fight. She was chasing me around, whining so I knew she needed a nap, but she wouldn't stay in bed. Every time she started messing around or kicking me, I'd say, "Fine, you want to play, I'm not staying in your room." I'd leave and go out to the couch. A couple minutes later, she'd follow, rubbing her eyes and crying. I'd pick her up, take her back and try again. It took 4 or 5 tries, but now she's asleep. I hope she gets a good nap today, instead of one of her short 1 hour ones.
