Ok. So having all three children clinging on to me at once is fine...for about 20 minutes...then showering, getting dressed, trying to do dishes and just functioning in general become a little tricky. So by 8pm when I finally locked myself in my room the house got really quiet. After 15 minutes I decided I better go see what the kids were up to.
Well, this is what I found Sadie doing. My messy little perfectionist. She managed to put her bib on, (knowing that she was about to make a mess) and proceeded to quirt ALL the toothpaste out of it's tube into the sink. What a great time she was having. Bless her little heart she was trying to keep her hands clean by using the hand towel to wipe them off.
Part of her creative play was disassembling the spray bottle and using that to smear toothpaste all over the bathroom.
It's all just a memory now, but at the time I think I went insane...
Ya know how sometimes you just hit your limit? Well my limit was hit about 3 hours BEFORE this lovely "play time" happened.
Matt was very helpful and tried to get Sadie out of Mommy's hair for a few minutes.
So today is a new day. Let's hope Mommy can keep her sanity a little longer than yesterday!
ETHAN UPDATE: Ethan is doing really great. Still no complaining, he just gets a little grumpy when his pain meds wear off. And no more puke...so far...so that's great. He managed to eat his first solid food today...WHITE bread. We'll see how that agrees with him.
Thanks for everyone's encouraging comments...I'm glad to know there's other people out there...sometimes I forget...
