Surgery Again....

After a day of Doctors visits, that were HORRIBLE, I mean Im not really sure there are much worse things then holding down a 2 year old while they scream at the doctors office for 10 minutes that felt like hours.. Im really not sure who cried more, but, we were given the news that more surgery is needed, Emmas tubes never fell out of her ears, and are now causing her ears more pain, and creating an issue for her eardrums.. she may need two surgery to fix everything. While I do realize that these are short surgeries, they are still surgery and then thought of having to put my baby under anesthesia again is terrifying.

At this point, I could worry every day about it, or I could know that she is in the loving arms of Jesus, and he will take care of my girl. That all is still so sad though, and While I do find peace and strength in knowing he will protect her, my momma heart still really hurts for what is ahead, and seeing my baby like that again.

This all will also prevent her from being in the pool for much of the summer, which is also upsetting because she asks about it every single day, in such anticipation. So we will have to find other exciting things to do this summer instead.

Recipe- Summer crustless egg bake!

I have always wondered the terms and the differences in egg bakes, come are casseroles, come are bakes, while others get classified as quiche, and fritatas... which ever one this one would fall into, you could call it that.. or you could call it delicious, quick, and healthy!

It took me maybe 15 minutes to prepare, 30 mins in the oven, and was a nice light.. but filling dinner, along with fruit salad!

YOU WILL NEED:
1C Shredded zucchini
1/2 C Shredded asparagus
1/4 C Chopped spring onions.
1/2 C Skim Mozzarella cheese
2Tbsp reduced fat parm cheese
1/2 C whole wheat flour
1tsp baking powder
2/3C 2% milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 eggs beaten
bit of salt, and cracked peppercorn
cooking spray

TO MAKE:

Preheat over to 400 degrees, grease a pie dish, set aside

In a Large bowl combine veggies, and cheeses.

In another bowl mix the rest of the ingredients, then pour into veggies, mix all together, and pour into pie dish!

Bake for 30 mins and ENJOY

Accidents...

Not the kind that happen when your kid hasn't visited the bathroom in a few hours, however those are rough too, it seems that always happen as we are running out the door to get somewhere, and about 5 miles down the street with no change of clothes...

But the accidents I'm talking about are the physical ones, the slips and spills that require lots of hugs, bandaids, and ice packs.

I'm not sure about your toddler, but I feel like mine is ALWAYS getting hurt, and I like to think of myself as a pretty protective mom, I mean come on.. my heart skips a beat when my hubs throws Em up in the air to high...

But every time I turn around, she just had a spill, walking in front of the swings at the playground, tumbling down the steps, smashing fingers in doors.. I die a little every time, it's rough.. some of the times, like hand in the door, I cried right along with her.

When does this part get easier, when will she be better on her feet lol, when will I be able to cut back on my bulk purchases on first aid supplies.

Oh this girl, Oh how I love her... but, Oh she is accident prone!

On Poop, and a bad case of the Nakies....

This post will not include pictures, which yes is normally pretty sad... but given the topic... you will thank me..

My 2.5 year old (However if you ask her she is "Half and 2") Has recently become obsessed with poop??? What is this about? I mean seriously I thought that was a boy thing, I mean we all baby dolls and princesses over here, not poop talking. I mean I do realize that everyone poops, but I never thought that my little girly girl would be all over that. She is so excited every day when she poops on the potty and....... wants everyone to come look at it. Gross right?!?!.... She will say things like " I poop big like a man poop" Or " Look at dis mom, its like a bear size poopie". Are sentences like this normal? We do not encourage this, however in a way I guess we kind of do, since we always made such a big deal about pooping on the potty during potty training???? This is a stage I am totally excited about her growing out of.

While we are talking about stages, we cannot leave out this other current one, this is the one that no matter where we are, my kid thinks it totally acceptable to unclothe herself, and run about naked as a .. well you know the rest.

Thankfully we have been able to get through to her on how being naked in public, while it may be hilarious one cannot continue doing this as it becomes an arrest-able offence. You think I'm kidding? Well cop dad totally mentioned the arrest part... then went on to explain what arrest means, to which I interjected with " what should we make for dinner?", and well you know men, his mindset suddenly shifted and we were on to a new topic. So while it looks like shes not gonna grow up to be arrested for public indecency... well hopefully... she still will walk right into the house, and start taking off her pants like one would remove shoes or a jacket after entering their home. She has even suggested... " Mom, dust take off yours pants we iz in our house now".... and every day, I tell her the same thing about why we keep our clothes one... and it just seems to be in one ear and out the other... But, then I thought.. well I may as well let her get it out of her system now instead of waiting until she is 13.... right?!?!

A swap!

I have heard lots of different women speak of holding clothing or accessory swaps in their homes during a brunch or luncheon, it always sounded like a good idea, then today I read Emily's Blog post about a clothing swap she had been to and thought... I'm totally doing this...

I think it would be fun to get a bunch of girls together, and "shop each others closets"!!! Have any of you done this, either held a swap, or participated in one? I would love your feedback!
