Prolapse Relapse

Lucy, once again had another case of rectal prolapse like she had here. Lucy normally takes Miralax everyday to keep her regular and to stop her from straining when she 'goes' but I had taken her off the Miralax while she was taking antibiotics for almost 6 weeks. The antibiotics give her diarrhea so she didn't need help in that department at the time.

I didn't see the need to put her back on the daily Miralax regimen after her course of antibiotics was done because she was not straining to poop. Unfortunaly, this week, I had to manually push her rectum back into her body because it came out while she was pooping. I am greatful that rectal prolapse is not at all painful for Lucy but it hurt my heart having to push her bowels back in knowing that it was preventable.

She is now taking Miralax everyday with juice and will continue to do so.

Trike Tyke...

Lucy's dad bought her a very fancy red, Radio Flyer tricycle with all the gear. She has turquoise blue Sesame Street knee pads and elbow pads. This fearless girl gets on that trike and her chest pokes out so proud! Her daddy attached two by fours to the pedals with duct tape because she is still to small to reach the pedals. Small or too young aside, my Lucy wants to ride with the big kids and she'll be ringing her bell the whole way. Brrring, brrring!

Sleep Walker

I am just getting over a 3 day cold/sinus bug that really wasn't too bad but it did make going to work a pain in the butt. Having a sore throat and a stuffy, runny nose while working with the public can be annoying for all involved!
This whole weekend I was dreading the day when Lucy would catch the bug that I have had. I am recovering just as she has begun sounding stuffed up and her nose is now dripping like a leaky faucet. I will wait a few days to see if she can overcome this cold by herself and try to avoid yet another round of antibiotics. I will also try to avoid the onset of the mommy-guilt I feel when I know I have infected my daughter. Ugh!

The fall weather is slowly creeping into the central valley of California and we took advantage of the beautiful day. I walked 2 miles while Lucy napped on her over sized Nemo and her Sixty-Five Roses blanket.

Moms And Tots Preschool

Lucy and I have began our class at WPNS. We will be going every Wednesday for the next 10 weeks to play, meet new kids and their parents, play with messy art, run around on the play ground, learn to share, be creative and most importantly...HAVE FUN!

This was our first day!

Lucy created a beautiful piece of artwork...

was able to get her own drinking water...


relaxed on the swinging chairs...

played on the teeter totter airplane...

squished her hands in pink shaving cream...

enjoyed looking at the flowers in the toilet...

crawling through the climbing structure...

hanging out among the triangles...

pushing around boys bigger than her...

airplane swings...

fun with playdough and cookie cutters...

and fed the fish. They were hungry.

Labor Day Fun...

Labor Day is not to be spent laboring so we spent the day walking around the Sacramento Zoo, which we go to often since we are members. We also went to Fairytale Town and, after lunch, ran around (which, in fact, is pretty laborious) and played all day! Lucy and I are pooped!

The Princess runs into her castle.


And takes her place on the throne.


Lucy can run this ship all by herself.


Lucy is a helper in Mr. McGregor's Garden.



She waters all the veggies with her can.


The stairs up to the Jack & The Bean Stalk slide are daunting.

But the trip down is amazing! WEEEE!


Jack's toes are huge!




Lucy be nimble! Lucy be quick! Lucy jump over the candle stick!


The Tortoise.

And the Hare.

Lucy gets body paint done by another princess.


Ladybugs and flowers.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe...

THE END!
