Sickness has left us!

YAY!! To answer a question from Megan, Alli has had gastroenteritis twice now. There have been a few times we were afraid she was getting it, but thankfully, she has only had it twice. One thing we were afraid of, was how this would affect potty training. It has had no affect at all! Allisyn even wore big girl panties to church tonight!

A tip for those who ever encounter the type of diaper rash that leaves your baby's bum raw, try Maalox. Do NOT try to go cheap and get a generic brand because it is watered down. The real stuff is thicker and covers better. Top it off with some aquaphor, generic is fine, and it does wonders. Even if it does take two adults practically sitting on the child to get it applied, but we don't know about that part first hand. I wish.

We were actually able to get out for a much needed play date on Friday and a birthday party on Saturday. I even made to church with both girls by myself this morning! Somedays, I wonder why I bother. Especially when Allisyn has to go potty 3 times during worship. I got lucky that both girls were asleep when we got home that I actually had some time to myself! Not too much, but it was nice.

Miss Piper is continuing to grow up way too fast. She has let go a few times after pulling up. Thankfully, it always been on soft-landing areas. She thinks she can eat whatever anyone else is eating and lets you know she is mad if you don't share! She has such a precious laugh and it is great to see her and Alli laugh at some inside joke! Right now I'm letting her shred a napkin because it is keeping her off my laptop. As I was typing that last sentence she started trying to eat said napkin. Since I took it away, she is now trying to get the laptop...which means this blog is done!!

I stand by your Maalox/Aquafor tip. It's magic.

You are brave to do Sunday morning church by yourself (and very well, I might add).
