Up Swing

Right before Parker went to sleep tonight we had a major milestone! Are you excited? I know I sure was........ the milestone was....... solid poop. Yes, that's right. Normal, solid, stayed in the diaper poop! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does this mean our 8 day streak of poop, puke and Barney is over?! Fingers and toes are crossed!

Next on our list is getting back to his normal schedule! He's gotten up every night for 8 nights in a row at least 3 times and is up for the day before 5:30am. Yes, I know... I've just signed myself up to do this all again with a newborn but I can handle feeding a hungry baby... it's a toddler in pain and pooping all over himself that I struggle with. That's just miserable for everyone.Poor buddy. It kills me to see him in pain.

Parker perked up enough today to go back to his usual vacuum obsession.  He asks usually upwards of 15-20 times a day to vacuum. Here he is opening the closet where the vacuum "sleeps."

He participates using his vacuum and ball popper.

And we're off...

Ready for the next room!

Parker's turn!

In awe of "the vacuum." I hope he still loves it so much in 10 years.

Gotta get the baseboards.

 We're done vacuuming but Parker was clearly not ready to finish.

 The start of the "no all done, mommy" meldown.

I'll spare you with the laying on the ground, kicking the door shot but it's hard not to laugh at this precious pouty face!

Alright guys... finger crossed and prayers said for restful sleep in the Wise household tonight!!!

Poop, Puke and Barney

I've been a bit MIA this week. What have I been up to you ask? Well.......... Watching Barney, cleaning up poop, watching Barney, cleaning up puke, watching Barney, cleaning up more poop, doing laundry and giving poopy baths. You get the picture..... Parker has a tummy bug.... a nasty nasty tummy bug that is working its way out of his body in every which way imaginable. Poor buddy..... and poor mommy. UGH. I love my little man but it is JUST G-R-O-S-S!

In the midst of all the poop, Barney and baths... I did manage to snap this cute pic of Parker and his goggles. He has no interest in swimming in them but he apparently likes his world to be turquoise. Excuse the sloppy clean up job on his shirt and his lack of bottoms.... At this point... everything he owns is either covered in poop, puke or in the washing machine.

See our couch behind Parker in this picture?

It's now at the dry cleaners..... yep... poop.
The plus side of being sick is mommy is a sucker to give him just about anything he'd like. (or would consider eating and keep down). So I caved and gave him this tasty fudge stripe while he enjoyed Barney episode #6719 (at least it felt like it was).

See the wall behind the musical table?

This was where the fudge stripe made its second appearance. Mommy fail. Now he eats rice.

Well this sleepy, smelly mommy is off to bed with visions of poop and puke dancing in her head!

Get well soon, Parker! .........P-L-E-A-S-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
