Day 15: Poop Everywhere

Well, I think you can guess what this post is about.  Lucy and I were having a pleasant morning, we coloring and I was loading some old CD's onto iTunes when I hear Lucy start crying, I look over and her diaper is on the floor.  I look in the diaper and it's filled with poo.  Her nightgown is around her so I know it probably has poo too.  We walk to her room and then I pick her up to clean her up, and I'm thinking, this isn't too bad, I don't see any poop on her bum.  Well, I clean off her bum when she starts whining and holds up her foot.  Apparently, she had stepped in her diaper so there is poo all over her foot.  I'm trying to clean in between the toes when I realize it's all down her thigh too.  I think I have everything cleaned up when I realize its on her hands too.  Oh man, it was something else.  I finally got her all cleaned up and we washed our hands and then I look down on my shirt and I realize there is poop on my shirt.  I took it off and started washing some clothes.  I went to help Lucy color when I realized there was a poopy footprint on the carpet next to her table.  So, there is literally poop everywhere and it isn't even nine yet.  I'll update this later if needed.

Day 4: Sachse Library

Lucy and I woke up around the same time, I think.  It was too early, but that happens sometimes.  I made some coffee and we watch some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  I was looking at some maid services for our house when it struck me that I have time to clean.  I steam mopped our kitchen floor and then went to town on our bathroom.  Our sinks were gross, mine with hair, Serena's with God knows what! Anyway, I got the dust off the counters, put a bunch of junk in the cabinets and wiped down everything.  The mirrors were Windex'd and the sinks look awesome now.  I think Serena will be pleasantly surprised when she finds it.  Except for me moving all of her stuff down below.  Oh well, it's for the better good.  We need to do a better job of maintaining, and then it won't be such an ordeal to clean.

After we cleaned, it was time to get ready to go to the Sachse Library for their storyteller time.  I've never been to this library, since we live in Wylie, but it looks nice from the outside.  When we went in, there were a lot of kids, but we were still able to get towards the front.  Lucy got bored after sitting for 5 minutes, so we went to read some books and found that they had some cool toys to play with.  They had this big castle, a puppet area, a coloring station, and then a decent book selection.  Lucy was playing with some of the toys when I realized she pooped. I was smelling her butt and she said, "no Dada."  I guess it's not cool to smell your daughters butt when she has a little kid playing with her.  I took her out to the car to change her diaper before the big show.  When we got back inside, the guy wasn't out yet, so we went to the back of the room since it had filled in quite a bit.  The librarians were reading some books to the kids when they announced that the guy wasn't coming.  I was disappointed, I'm sure a few of the parents were.  I'm trying to be better this summer of having some interactive stuff for Lucy to go to so she doesn't get too bored.  I was looking forward to it.  Oh well, we'll go to the animal guy next week.  Lucy didn't want to listen to the librarians read so we went back to the children's section and she read some books and played in the castle with some other girls.  It was cute to watch.  When we left, we went to McDonald's and ate on the couch watching Peter Pan.  I don't think I've seen the animated one before, only that live version.  She is currently in her room fighting off nap time.  She can fight it for a while, but eventually I will win out.  I always do.

Day 2: Poop!

I woke up with Lu and we watched some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  She loves Minnie Mouse but didn't seem too excited to see her on TV.  We played some princess time with play-doh and then I decided to go outside with Lucy.  We watered the plants but then Lu sprayed herself with the hose.  She got distracted with my BBQ scrubber.  She was content with that so I watered the rest of my plants, mainly my weeds and the watermelon plants that are going better than expected.  I expected I was going to be able to pull some of those weeds when I heard Lu scrub the sidewalk.  I went over to see what she was doing and Barkley had pooped on the sidewalk.  I looked over to him and he was doing his little dog laugh.  I sprayed the poop the best I could off of the sidewalk and took the scrubber away from Lu.  She started crying so we went inside and washed her hands.  Pretty gross, I need to throw out that scrubber before I forget and use it again!  SIKE, that thing is already gone.  Anyways, the lesson I learned was that if I see Barkley give a little poop in the grass, go and find where the rest of it is.

We went to the library today, in a neighboring city, and Lu acted very shy.  She gets real funny around new people, but I know that I'm still like that.  I guess it's innate.  She had fun putting the felt shapes on the felt board at the end of class.  Lu was definitely more behaved than some of those other kids.  She fell asleep on the way home, 11:30, so i thought she'd have an early nap.  She woke up at 12:00 when we got home.  I'm not sure what time I'm going to put her back down.  I have class at 5, so I"ll have to meet up with Serena around 4:30.  I feel as though I don't stimulate her enough, but we can't engage her all day can we?
