It was so weird Thursday having snow and pollen at the same time. Wonder if that will ever happen again.
I think that Kip's reflux may be getting better. He hasn't thrown up very much for the past couple of days so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I made the most amazing cupcakes on Wednesday. I made everything from scratch and they completely blow away any other cupcakes I've ever eaten. Of course I've never eaten any cupcakes except for the kind you buy already made at the store. When I told my father that I was going to try making chocolate buttercream frosting he said, "oh....I kinda hope you aren't successful." Well, I was. And oh man, just wait till he tastes it.
Miguel's niece got married this past Sunday and Eowyn had a blast running around and playing with the other kids that were there. So much so that she didn't pay quite enough attention to what was going on with her body. All of a sudden she comes running up to me saying "Mama, I gotta poop," with this really urgent look on her face. By the time we got to the bathroom she was bouncing up and down a little and saying, "oh no, oh no, oh no." As I suspected, it was too late. That is the first time that has happened since she potty trained back in September. So of course, I had just recently taken the pair of panties I had been keeping in my purse b/c I thought I'd never need them, since I hadn't up to that point. So for the rest of the day she had to run around in tights with no underwear. It could have been worse I guess.
I took her to a thing called "Baby Loves Disco" last Saturday. http://www.babylovesdisco.com/ Aside from the horrible traffic I got stuck in on the way there (of course the event was downtown and there was roadwork going on) with the baby screaming most of the time (he doesn't like the car very much) and thinking that I wasn't going to be able to go the way mapquest said b/c of construction and a closure at my exit (thanks so much Dad, I would have had a tough time without your knowledge of downtown) it was pretty fun. It was a little overwhelming for her at first I think, b/c it really is like a nightclub inside, with loud music and flashing lights and people (kids) dancing everywhere, but she had fun. She got her face painted and danced and had some snacks and I think it was a success overall. Next time I am going to try to convince some other people I know with kids her age to go b/c I think she will have more fun if she goes in with someone she knows. I couldn't dance too much with her b/c I had the baby strapped to me. I did take a few pictures though.
This will be the first Easter that Eowyn gets an Easter basket and goes on an Easter egg hunt so I am excited. I love that stuff and I can't wait until she is old enough to dye eggs with.
Lately she has been insisting on wearing this pink Atlanta Braves shorts outfit I got for her to wear this summer. She doesn't seem to realize that it's still too cold for shorts. The other day she put it on with some black shiny dress shoes and put her bag over her shoulder and came and showed me. It was soooo cute. Even though it didn't really match, she looked like a fashonista. My little girl is 100% girl. The other day when we were at the creek I saw a snake near her while she was picking up a rock to throw in the water and when I picked it up to play with it she would have nothing to do with it. I think I scared her a little when I gasped when I saw it. It was just a really small little ringneck snake but it was neat. She's not afraid of snakes in cages at least.
Well there is it, now I don't feel like I'm neglecting this anymore.
