Past Few Weeks

Its about time for another post... These past few weeks have been nothing short of a hard time... First is was lack of sleep due to Kaiya waking up at 3:30am every morning and not going back to bed until 5am (what is the point is going to sleep for 30 mins before work), to potty training and cleaning up throw up.

We will start with the first one, we went from sleeping through the night and waking up at 6:45am to waking up at 3:30am... What for? Who knows. I know that I am tired of getting up so early and not being able to go back to sleep... Even when she goes to bed later she is still waking up that early. Any ideas on how to stop it? We have tried letting her cry herself to sleep (that only results in no one sleeping and the cops knocking on the door at 4am), we have tried to lay with her but that is what she wants and expects it every time. so we are now open to suggestion.

Potty training, you would think that this would be exciting and something that is easily done... NOT! well not for us that is, she wants to do it, she has taken her diaper off, thrown it away and sat on the potty. However she doesnt always remember to go and if we remind her she thinks its a game and runs and sits on it and gets up to only later pee on my carpet 5 mins later. I have learned to have handy clean towels and vinegar water to clean up my floors. My only wish is that daycare would step up during the week and have her go on the big potty. They will only ask them if they need to and if they say no they dont make them, they will just change their diapers and let them be on their merry way. I only wish I was home with her for a full week to help her with this task.

Puke, this has been something that I HATE doing. I really dont think anyone likes to clean up someone else puke... Well the first day it wasn't even my own child  we had a small play date and from the first 5 mins of them coming over i had vomit all over my carpet to only 2 hours later a full washer of towels and a few of Kaiyas outfits gone did they finally settle down to leave. Lord and behold the next night Kaiya to start puking up. So there went a few more loads of laundry and a quick trip to the ER to get some Zofran for the nausea and on our way home at 11pm to get some sleep. I can tell you this that I am hoping that she learns to know when she will puke in the future so I dont have to scrub my carpet and wash every blanket and towel in my house.

These are just the few big things that have happened these past few weeks, others include Kaiya's fresh black eye from falling on the window seal and taxes not going to what we planned....

Sometimes in life you have to sit back, breath and laugh at your life and carry on...

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
