Delightful Finch woke me up this morning to tell me that she didn't want diapers any more and she was going to wear princess underwear today. She'd already taken off the (completely dry) diaper from last night and was fully dressed. I guess that's the end of that. Even with the weird week, she's still easier to potty train than her brother :p
Happy the weekend is here!
People are starting to get ready for CHD Month (February)....I can't think of anything I want to do to promote CHD awareness aside from drawing more hearts. ...and I'm already doing that, so I'm not sure it counts..heh!
Seraph has an appointment with her GI doctor next week. He'll check her G-tube and see that her eating/weight gain is on track.

One little, two little, three little...
| ninjas-in-training |
I'm pretty sure she just stayed up. She's crashed on the couch tonight. I hope she isn't having nightmares again.
She still refuses to use any potty but the one in the kids' bathroom. Instead of diapers or pull-ups, I've been putting her in swim diapers. They're great because they really don't work. She peed in the first one and it leaked all over and ran down her leg which totally freaked her out. Since that first time she's been keeping the swim diapers bone dry. She comes and tells me when she needs to go potty....almost like she's asking for permission. She hasn't gotten to the point where she just goes by herself. I'm plan to leave her in the swim diapers for a week or two.
Seraph's speech therapist came today with lots of presents! (little cups of food!) We discovered that Seraph hates Nutella and deviled chicken slightly less than she hates other food. She also cries when she's thirsty and can't reach her sippy-cup. She points and tugs on your hand 'til you get in the right spot and hand it to her.
We watched Dora the Explorer while waiting for the therapist to arrive. Seraph picked up some new words: "backpack" and "ya!!"
It was a good day :)

Meatloaf, please!
We started a new thing for dinner last week. 7 people in my family...so each person gets a night to be in charge of dinner. (Mommy is their helper!) It's been crazy fun. The kids love measuring, stirring, and especially picking what to have. I get to kick everyone out of the kitchen save the ONE person in charge of dinner.
Tonight Delightful Finch is making meatloaf. We had it last week, and the kids loved it so much they wanted to have it again. Beautiful Rabbit declared it the week of yummy dinners every night. and Strong Bear said I'm the best mom he's ever known. (which, of course, is totally true!)
-----------------
Finch [kneeling in front of the oven staring at the meatloaf]: I did a great job, Mom!

Seraph didn't scream during every second of dinner tonight. She didn't scream at all. Not even when I shoved beans and stars in her mouth. She took it out straight away and played with it!
Her new speech therapist missed our last two appointments. But, she's assured me that she's coming this week - we have a standing appointment. To be fair, the first miss was because she was sick...and the second was because she was snowed in!
Excited to see how Seraph acts around the therapist this week.
She's been sneaking sips from her cup instead of dumping all of it on the floor lately. Yay!

Babies take naps
| my "sleeping" princess |
I put her back in diapers...but she still tries to hold everything in til she can go potty. So, we have to take off the diaper for potty breaks at various intervals.
No fever, no pain. Trying to get her to drink more water - with some success. However, it hasn't changed anything.
I can't figure out what's going on with her. Any ideas?

The kids go back to school tomorrow.....
