Big Sis

Yesterday, one of my water glass jugs broke :(. I mixed my Sunrider fortune delight in this jug. Oh well… we can buy a new one right?

Well I placed the broken pieces into the trash bag to take out later. I come back to it to take out and there must have been a sharp piece sticking out the bottom when I picked the bag up and it cut my toe. OUCH. Blood starts to pour everywhere. I tried to be quiet so the girls wouldn’t notice me as I did not want them to freak. Madisyn saw me and said mommy what happened. I explained to her. She said ok mommy sit down. Let me go get you a band aid. I sat down on the bed. I had already put a wet washcloth on it to stop the bleeding. She was rubbing my arm saying mommy it is going to be ok. Don’t worry Madisyn is right here. She put the bandaid on carefully and kissed my forehead.

I just sat there and tears welled up in my eyes. It is amazing how much our children learn from us. I was truly touched that my 3 year old could take care of me like that. I love my girls so much!!!

Just had to share this cute story ;).

We went in yesterday and I had been talking to her about it throughout the day and she seemed like she would do fine. She was even good in the imaging waiting room. As soon as we walk back and she sees the machine oh she has a meltdown. I lifted her up on the table and the woman is showing her how the machine works. I tried to lay her down and she brought me down with her clinging to my neck.

She started kicking and then I think ok bribe her. I had got her disney fisher price skates for when we left for a surprise. Nope that didn’t work either. I tried to calm her down and talk to her. I said they are just going to take a picture of your head and that’s it. She said no mommy please let us go back home away from this big machine. I start crying then, AF started yesterday and I always get all emotional during this time and plus I hated seeing Madisyn so scared.

The tech woman said she has to be very still and cannot flinch or it will not do. I said well there is no way that is going to happen. She is way too scared. So she goes and calls Madisyn’s doctor. He said he is going to have to sedate her so we have to reschedule Monday :(.

Yep this was my saga yesterday. My three year old has done this once before but hubby was here to get it opened. Well this time she locked our bedroom door where all the diapers are, where we sleep, take baths. Yes, I was stressing to say the least.

I used a nail and hanger and still couldn’t get it open. This went on for about three hours. Finally, Finally.. my good friend Nan over at Mommy Circle sent me this in IM:

If you’ve locked yourself out of the bathroom, or your toddler has locked themselves in, you will need to know how to open a locked interior door.

Push button locks: The doorknob on the outside of the door has a small hole in it. Find a thick nail or something similar, and push it straight in the hole. You will hear a click, which is the door being unlocked.

Turn button locks: The doorknob on the outside of the door has a small hole in it. In this case you will need to find a small flathead screwdriver which will fit through the hole. Insert the screwdriver straight in, and rotate gently until you feel it slip into position with the notch. Turn the screwdriver, using pressure to make sure you turn the inside bolt as well. You will hear a click, whish is the door being unlocked. If turning the screwdriver doesn’t seems to work one way, try it the other direction.

If a screwdriver won’t work eHow Friend Get a credit card to push into the crack of the door right where the latch is located. One of the flimsy, thin, credit cards work best. Bank cards could be too thick for this use.

I had a push button door, so it worked like a charm when I used a safety pin alway back. Finally after many tears shed, stressing where we were going to sleep we were in our bedroom at last. We took showers and hit the sack. AHHHH relax and restful sleep it was 😉

I was just talking to a good friend online and we were talking about our kids. I was telling her how Madisyn has a meltdown with I dress my 1 year old Lyndsee.

See Lyndsee is wearing Madisyn’s baby clothes and Madisyn remembers them. When I dress Lyndsee, Madisyn says mommy but those are my clothes and starts crying wanting them back. We have to reassure her, that it is ok. She is a bigger girl now and she like a good big sister passed on her clothes to Lyndsee.

After a bit she is ok, but isn’t it funny how kids react to certain things 🙂
