Well, I’m already down 3 pounds! 3 in 3 days. Not even like I’ve been crazy about it or something. Just extra Christmas weight I guess. I went to the gym again today. 2 days in a row. It was a bit harder today, but I couldn’t sleep in any longer. I made myself go to bed early so I could get up without feeling so tired. Another FlyLady tip! Sensible enough, but why do I always ignore sensible things…dunno.
I’m enjoying working with FlyLady tips. Theres lots to do, so I just end up cleaning everything my way. But I have been shining my sink and getting dressed to the shoes (crocks). It seems to be working. Our house is WAY cleaner and MK is even inspired to clean up stuff. It’s really relaxing to have a clean house. I never thought I’d care as much as I do. When my kitchen is clean, I’m way more inclined to make something healthier to eat. So bonus #2. I took a picture of my FlyLady sink today for your very much optical pleasure.
Tonight is our first night with our new meal planners too. Thanks Grama! Got a subscription to Savingdinner.com for Christmas. Tonight is Feta Chicken and zucchini. It’s gonna be delish. I’m really hoping it will help us eat healthier meals and keep our grocery costs to a minimum. Nothing like saving money whenever you can right? If It turns out pretty I’ll take a picture.
Emily has decided she hates having water poured on her head. She used to do just fine in the bath with water on her head. Now she stands up and says “It’s ok” and shakes her head. It’s kinda sad. We are just going to have to figure out a better way to wash stinky’s hair or else she’ll have to keep showering with daddy. She was sitting in the tub playing with her toys and she started pretending she was cooking. Here is word for word her conversation with me.
EM: “Im cooking fish!”(she put her soap bottle in a cup and stirred it around)
” Oops I drinked it all”(drinks some bath water)
“I’m making more” ( fills the water up again in the cup)
(Then she offers me some and I pretend to drink it) “Ooops. Mommy ate it all. Silly Mommy. ”
It was pretty hilarious.
We’ve started potty training! Em has already gone pee 3 times on the potty. As soon as she found out she gets a treat for going potty she was soooo excited to go. We can hardly keep her in clothes now. We bough some pull-ups and she likes her “special panties”. The little dragons go all blurry if she pees her self. No poopies yet, but she hasn’t had any while not in her bed either. So we’ll see how this goes. If anyone has any tips they’d be much appreciated.
She’s also decided she doesn’t want to be fed at all. She will only eat if I let her “Scoop it iself”. It’s made for a bit of a messy transition, but she’s actually quite good at it. She can even eat cheerios without making to much mess. She is best with yogurt or cottage cheese, but she will eat anything if she can “scoop it iself”.
I think I’m going to make some Chai tea and fold laundry while watching Big Trouble with Tim Allen and Kronk!
Wow, her language is expanding quickly…lovely. She’s so cute…I want to gobble her up. Silas is eating all food on his own now…it’s fun to watch.
