Mischief and Mayhem Always Follow Trouble

Potty training's going excellently (is that a word?). Adia keeps going peepee in the potty and has started to prefer her potty chair. She likes to see what she's done and it's harder to see that in the toilet. She's hardly wet anymore and I got her to pee this morning when she first woke up. She just needs to remember to go, that's been out only problem. If I forget to ask, she forgets she can use the potty. She hasn't successfully pooped in it yet either. That seems to scare her. I can tell when she's pooping, most of the time, but she's just not ready for that yet. She was funny when she peed for Scott because she wouldn't stop peeing! Each time he dumped the pee in the toilet, she'd sit down and pee more. She went 5 or 6 times in a row.

It's starting to get really hot here. It's supposed to be around 100 on Friday. Adia and I don't do heat. We're both drenched in sweat today and it's only in the high 80s. One way to cool off is the bathtub though. Adia always sighs in the relief when she gets in after dinner. I've been joining her lately too.


I've started up our walks again today. Adia was excited to get in the stroller. I let her hold my house keys and she never complained about being in the stroller. She did end up falling asleep on the way home though. I picked her up and carried her to her bed. She stayed asleep and let me take a shower and do some dishes before waking up. I was surprised she slept so long, but she did wake up at 7am. Since she napped this morning though, she didn't nap this afternoon. Now I have a cranky baby.





After she woke up, we headed to Costco. We needed to get out of the house and we were running low on Pull Ups and Cereal. Adia fought the cart at first. She's always fighting the cart anymore. She has a full on freak out when I try to put her in it. The only way I got her to sit down was by giving her my sunglasses. They kept her occupied for quite a long time. Then she was sidetracked by a new book.


We ate lunch when we got home. Adia didn't seem too hungry. Since Adia's toys are overflowing, I went through them and packed up all the ones she doesn't play with anymore. I also organized the ones that were left. Little People are all together. Mega Blocks are in another location. Small stuff in another container. Adia was surprised to see some of her toys again. She was especially happy to see Thomas the Tank Engine and several of her Little People. She loves Little People. She also started building with the Mega Blocks. We really need to get her more of them so she can build bigger towers.

While I was cleaning the living room, Adia got into the granola bars in the kitchen. I have very few places to stash things because she climbs so well. She carried a bunch into the living room and I didn't think much of it. When I was coming back from the bedroom, I noticed she was munching on something. She had opened one of the bars and was eating it! I guess Adia's not allergic to tree nuts because they contain pecan, almond and walnut flours. My biggest concern though was the malt in the crisped rice. Malt generally contains gluten because it's made from barley. Sure enough, within 30 minutes, Adia had diarrhea. Luckily, it didn't burn her butt, but she does have a mild diaper rash. It doesn't seem to be bothering her.
