think I can safely say that we are 100% potty trained! 2 solid weeks

She's always been very independent, but this stage is actually cracking me up. :) Most of the time I love it, it just makes me very proud and glad to see her wanting to learn everything and try it herself. But with this comes a LOT of anxiety!! lol Not to mention everything now takes 10000x longer with little helping hands =) I wouldn't let her miss the chance to help or learn though, no matter how much it slows me down.<br />
<br />
So in the last week she has:<br />
<ul>
<li>Made a PB sandwich completely on her own (she spread the pb on bread and insisted on eating it on an open slice) twice.</li>
<li>Basically gave herself a bath. She wouldn't let me scrub her clean, she took the washcloth and scrubbed herself. She actually did a really good job. I still scrubbed one side of her body while she was busy scrubbing the other side, but other than her little tushy and lower back my extra hand was really unnecessary! </li>
<li>She now has figured out she can pick up the step stool and carry it around the kitchen to get ANYTHING she wants. Mostly this means pulling her cup out (which is at her level), dragging the stool to the fridge and getting herself some water. </li>
<li>She also insists on helping me clean her potty chair every time she's finished doing her business. This part caused a little melt down, because well, the idea of her sloshing around the ickiness is a little much for me. I've finally gotten her to the point that she's fine with us both carrying it to the big potty together and climbs up to the sink and help momma scrub it.</li>
<li>In gymnastics, she refuses to let anyone help her on anything so she does the balance beams <i>all by herself</i>. The teacher keeps saying how impressed she is, which of course makes me feel great! :)</li>
</ul>
Absolutely anything I do guarantees a pair of tiny hands are in on the action. lol<br />
<br />
Family not on facebook, I don't know if Mike told you guys, but Jocelyn came down with hand, foot, mouth disease AGAIN. Apparently last year there was a new strain of the virus going around and it's a flippin epidemic! The normal strain is CVA16and I guess this new strain is CVA6. Since Jocelyn has already had this once, I assumed she would be immune, without realizing there was a new strain of this virus going around. It's a much tougher form of this virus and starts out the same with high fever and sores in mouth. After that, instead of just little goosebump size red spots, she broke out into a blistery rash. It looks just like chicken pox! Fun times. Anyways, I ended up with it too and we're both on the mend right now. Fortunately she seems to be healing quickly and has been in pretty good spirits. She has had a few melt downs and been cranky a couple of times, but I've been surprised she wasn't miserable through all of this. As for me, while I'm a bit itchy and sleep deprived, I actually feel completely fine. Hopefully this is for real our last round of this nasty virus.<br />
<br />
So Mike went to a wedding in California this weekend, it is adults only, so I told him just to go since we couldn't take Jocelyn. I was actually planning on taking her to Elko to surprise a friend at her birthday party, but obviously with our highly contagious condition, that all fell through :)<br />
<br />
It feels a little weird sending Mike off to a wedding by himself. I love weddings!!!Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-64453814256395530192012-05-22T22:57:00.002-07:002012-05-22T22:57:43.395-07:00"I DID IT! I DID IT!"Oh my gosh, Jocelyn CRACKED me up earlier tonight!! I was in the kitchen cooking and she was in the living room playing. All of a sudden she comes running into the kitchen singing, dancing, jumping all excited saying "Potty, potty! I did it! I did it!" She was SO proud of herself for going when mommy wasn't even in the same room. <br />
<br />
She goes potty all by herself all the time, she doesn't even bother telling me that she goes, but I'm always in the same room (I have the potty set up in the living room while we've been training) so I see/hear her going and immediately reward her. This time I wasn't there so she came in SUPER excited to let me know she did it.<br />
<br />
I was laughing so hard and was SO incredibly proud of her. It was really fun seeing her so proud of herself though :) That was totally THE best!Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-68065282130744188042012-05-18T20:45:00.005-07:002012-05-18T21:25:48.170-07:00Potty TrainingI am SOOO proud!!<br />
<br />
I really wanted to start potty training Jocelyn very early, you guys may remember from my occasional posts about it. Every.single.time I wanted to start potty training, we would end up dealing with her tummy issues again. (update on that at the end of this post).<br />
<br />
She had been doing pretty awesome for months, identifying #1 from #2 and notifying us every time she did either one in her diaper. When we had the opportunity, we would practice as much as we could, explaining how we go on the potty, spend time sitting there, etc.<br />
<br />
There were a couple of times I was a bit frustrated because she would go once or twice and then suddenly lose interest, or have a tummy flare up. There was a time that she would absolutely hold everything until the end of the day, because I think she was confused about where she was supposed to be going.<br />
<br />
On top of all of that, I have a VERY hard time staying home day in and day out. I'm just not a homebody and now that the weather has warmed up, it's even harder to stay indoors.<br />
<br />
BUT, I finally decided that we really needed to step it up and force myself to stay home and work on this. For the last 3-4 weeks, she has been going #2 on the potty, telling me before hand so we could get there in time to go when we are at home, so she obviously knows what she's doing.<br />
<br />
Yesterday was our first day of full time potty training. We are doing the whole 3 day naked thing and it is going awesome!! Just leaving her naked on the bottom so that when she goes there's no messing around with anything, just run and sit on the potty to do her business. Also, if she starts to have an accident, I can see it right away and direct her towards the potty.<br />
<br />
Today was the end of day 2 and we've only had 1 accident!!! I even managed to taker her out of the house for over an hour, diaper free with total success. she's obviously ready which totally gets me excited! And emotional :( *sniff sniff* It's ridiculous how much more emotional I've become after having a baby. lol Seriously.<br />
<br />
So, what's super duper awesome is that half the time she sort of notifies us that she needs to go potty and the rest of the time, she doesn't say a word and just goes potty all by herself and takes care of business!!! She even wipes herself (which totally cracks me up!) I do ask her all day long if she needs to go potty and most of the time she says no, but when she <i>does</i> actually have to go, she just does it all by herself. <br />
<br />
I'm going to force myself to stay indoors (it DEFINITELY helps that it poured today) until Monday (minus Church), doing the naked training thing. I think on Monday I'm going to attempt to put her in panties and see what happens.<br />
<br />
*sigh* She's growing up too fast :(<br />
<br />
But I'm STOKED that we may be diaper free so soon!Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-10081804180516078032012-05-11T22:34:00.001-07:002012-05-11T23:07:28.470-07:00PhotographyLast post for the day!!<br />
<br />
I've been thinking about starting a photography business for months and months now. I've always liked taking pictures of pretty things and started a photo album years ago of just random landscape and stills that I had taken with the old film cameras. But I had never taken a course or learned anything beyond automatic mode.<br />
<br />
I've taken time out recently to study and learn everything I can about the technical aspects of photography and the camera. It helps that anytime I've had a question, Mike has been able to explain and show me first hand. Definitely makes learning a lot easier when I can learn hands on.<br />
<br />
After talking with Mike and thinking long and hard, I've decided to just go for it! I've seen how much people charge for their services and even if I only had a gig every great once in awhile, it would still be fun to do. I've never found something that makes me SO giddy!! I love being behind the camera 100000x more than I ever did being in front of it (and that was pretty awesome while it lasted :D). That's how much I love it, I seriously get giddy trying to get an awesome picture!!<br />
<br />
I'm super super super stoked about this new venture!! The best part is that I have an expert at home that can help me out if I ever need it. :)<br />
<br />
NOW, I just need a really good name. I would prefer something really cute and not name associated but of course I can't come up with anything. So if you guys have any suggestions, I'd LOVE to hear them!!!!! Right now I'm stuck on SMW Photography, which is so unoriginal but safe =) and definitely not cutesy lol I'm also mulling over Primrose Photography. I think it sounds cute and, well, you can imagine the inspiration behind the name. tee hee!<br />
<br />
What's absolutely hysterical and totally random, is that in the very same week I decided to go official, my bil sent out an email saying he had made the very same decision! So while he has a full time job, he would do photography on evenings and weekends. But really, what are the odds???? Even more awesome since we can share info and resources. I'm still cracking up, I mean, really? What are the chances.<br />
<br />
<br />
K!!! Don't forget me if you come up with something cute! :)Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-3046167028257419172012-05-11T22:24:00.000-07:002012-05-11T22:24:02.732-07:00Our Little Man Made BeachSo, we have this beautiful park just like 2 miles from our house in a new(ish) development. This development is supposed to appeal to the super successful, young, yuppies in Utah, tripling the population of our town. The houses sit on top of each other and there is a quaint little shopping and dining area within walking distance of the residential areas. There is a 65 acre park/lake there that has a 2.5 mile walking loop with multiple bridges that cross over this lake. There is a boating area, fishing area and 2 parks along with a couple of "beaches". Here's the best part of it all: You're not allowed to be in the water. =) =) =) SO, you tell me the purpose of having a beach if you're not allowed to dip your toes in. And you tell me HOW on earth you're supposed to keep a kid OUT of the water??? Pretty much impossible, so we will no longer be visiting this "beach". Freaks me out that there are like nasty chemicals in the water or something, why else would they prohibit residents/visitors from wading? Oh, this is where our gymnastics center is.<br />
<br />
Anyway, before I realized this, Jocelyn and I went to visit our little beach a couple days ago and before I realized you're not allowed in the water, I totally let her play in it. I got a couple of really cute pictures and wanted to share.<br />
<br />
I just discovered a reservoir not too far from us, so from now on we
will be sticking to splash pads and also visit this reservoir. <br />

It is a little bit crazy how much I love and adore this feisty little 3 ft being. I almost can't even imagine bringing another one into this world. Like it somehow won't be fair to her. It hasn't even happened yet and I already feel guilty about having to divide my attention in the future. And while I've always wanted 3 kids, it's just so <i>perfect</i> right now with just one. She's my perfect little baby (errr, toddler) and I would never, in a million years, trade her personality for a different one, even if would be easier. She is SO much stinkin' fun and really, for as feisty as she is, pretty obedient. More so with daddy, but you know....that's something mommy has to work on :) lol I actually have a lot of anxiety about having another one, not because I'm afraid I can't handle it....but because I feel bad for J. And my heart is SO full with just her. I know that my heart will grow and make equal amounts of room for each child, but it's just so hard to imagine since I don't know first hand.<br />
<br />
AND I can't believe how fast she's growing up!! *sniff sniff*Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-55832497610018873192012-05-11T21:53:00.002-07:002012-05-11T21:53:49.272-07:0020 MonthsI seriously cannot believe how time flies. Jocelyn is now 20 months old and I feel like I just gave birth last week. Especially after seeing pics of a friend's new baby, all those memories come rushing back, clear as day! I can't believe that was nearly 2 years ago. Seriously. <br />
<br />
So much to update on since I've been slacking on posts this month, I don't even know where to begin.<br />
<br />
Jocelyn has been talking up a storm, and while putting words together to sort of form sentences, they are mostly phrases that she hears us say than really putting many together herself. Most of what she says is only understood by mom and dad, or anyone that is around her often enough to figure it out. She is starting to say words more clearly though and it's really a lot of fun to listen to what she picks up on. :)<br />
<br />
She is one super feisty child, but so majorly fun loving and affectionate. She is very kissy and huggy, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Makes dealing with the feisty a little easier :) lol And while she still will not talk to a stranger, she will hug someone if they ask for one. :)<br />
<br />
We are in the stage right now where possession is a huge deal. Not just her possessions, but anyone's. If she knows an object belongs to someone in particular and sees someone else with it, holy moly she is hell bend on taking it from that person and returning it to the owner. This goes for everything and everyone. So, imagine when the object belongs to her :) This is a fun stage! lol I just feel bad for the other kids, since none of them quite understand the concept of sharing and get upset on both sides. If you have any super magical hints, I'd love to hear them! Right now, we're just focusing on not expressing any negative behaviors even though we are upset: ie, pushing, hitting, screaming. Right now, she still does not hit other kids. She's just starting to push a little, pushing them back out of her way if they're reaching for something that's hers more than just full on pushing to be mean. My favorite is when another kid is being aggressive, instead of hitting/pushing back she gets within inches of their face and just screams. lol I have to admit, it's a little bit funny and I'm proud she's not being physical but I obviously cannot encourage this behavior either.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, she is really good at saying "sorry" and giving hugs. Also fortunate, that we're not dealing with this super often. <br />
<br />
Our biggest struggles right now are bed time and eating. I don't think eating is ever going to get any better, she is just a super picky child as I was. This is where I say, I don't know how my mom did it. Holy smokes. The anxiety over her not eating all the food groups or different color veggies or everything organic that I try to cook for her. All the wasted money & food, but more importantly I can't say I'm really sure how she's still growing and still so chubby at that :) lol The child doesn't eat. <br />
<br />
Bedtime. Well, she sleeps awesome through the night, she's always been an awesome sleeper. Our issue is that it takes her 1-2 hours to fall asleep. Lately, when Mike puts her down she doesn't fight it. She lays down without tossing/turning or playing around and it takes him NO time at all. It's really pretty frustrating for me. A friend of ours just suggested that he put her to bed every night until she is just used to the routine. I think that is the perfect solution actually, it will get her adjusted to getting down to business and not fighting it. Maybe in a couple of weeks when I try again, she'll just have it down. Not so sure Mike will be game :) We shall see.<br />
<br />
Mike surprised me on Easter, we had a little talk about having #2. I had no idea, but apparently he's been ready to have another one!!! I've been saying we would visit the topic when Jocelyn turned 3, until then we were happy with just 1. How did I not know?? lol And he would probably kill me for airing that news on the web. :) Anyway, I say that to say this: I need Jocelyn to get to bed in less than 30 minutes before I bring along a newborn. There is just NO way this is going to work out with a new baby. So hopefully we get this all worked out soon. That and potty training.<br />
<br />
So potty training: Is actually going pretty awesome. When we are at home and she can run around naked, she's actually gone to sit on her potty all by herself to do her business without any prompting. When she's wearing a diaper, she tells me and we have to go sit on the big potty. We are definitely not super consistent yet and most of this is my fault. If I could just force myself to stay inside 24/7 for at least a week, I'm pretty sure she'll be fully potty trained. But this weather has just been awesome, so we've been spending all of our time outside. <br />
<br />
Sorry this was so super long. Just wanted to post an update!!<br />

So does mommy :) Though I have to say, after the very first class she spent that entire week literally "practicing" everything she'd learned. Mike looked at me and said "Yeah, maybe gymnastics isn't such a good idea afterall." LOL Oh my heck, seriously. This child...<br />
<br />
Mike was bugging me to take pictures, but it's REALLY hard to get pics at gymnastics when we're constantly moving. Yesterday we had a substitute coach, so it wasn't nearly as structured as usual and there were also more kids there. So I was finally able to get a bunch of pictures while the coach had Jocelyn.<br />
<br />
There were 4 kids this week, so far the other 3 weeks it's just been Jocelyn and one other boy. She is the only girl in this class, the youngest and the BIGGEST! lol It's SO funny to see her running around with 3 little boys that are older and all 4 of them are exactly the same size. Teeny little boys and a giant little girl. <br />

33.1 inches, 90th%. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>This surprised me since at the GI appt she was at 80th%. Guess she hit another growth spurt</i></span><br />24 lbs 9 oz. 80th% <br />Head = 50th%<br />

I thought she was slowing down, but apparently nsm.<br />

I didn't have anything and just went browsing through the pantry. I rarely ever use this much processed foods, especially for one meal, but whatev. When you're in a pinch! It worked for tonight and I ended up with this:<br />
<br />
<i>Stuffed Pasta Shells</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>1 lb venison sausage</i><br />
<i>1 bundle of spinach (to make myself feel a bit better :D) </i><br />
<i>1 can cream of mushroom</i><br />
<i>1 can rotel</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup cheddar & monterrey jack (probably more, I don't measure)</i><br />
<i>1/2 cup parmesan, romana & asiago (ditto above)</i><br />
<i>1 jar alfredo sauce</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>(see what I mean on the processed foods? eeesh!)</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>Brown the sausage, add cream of mushroom, toss in the spinach and let it simmer for like 10 minutes. Add rotel and cheese until blended/melted. Scoop into pasta shells. Add alfredo sauce and throw on some more cheese! </i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>Bake at 350 for like 20-25 minutes(ish).</i><br />

She's been stuffing different toys down her shirt lately and suddenly discovered that she can stuff her balls from the ball pit down into her jammies :) lol She started shoving them in and daddy helped her stuff it full. Pretty stinkin' funny! After that first time w/ daddy she went back and kept shoving them in all by herself, this was totally cracking me up! Then she left them in her jammies and was walking around that way. Daddy did have to help her zip it up after it was stuffed so full.Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-79349620438866001942012-02-05T12:05:00.000-08:002012-02-05T20:36:21.847-08:00Busy WeekendMike bought tickets to go watch the NCAA gymnastics meet, Utah is ranked #1. He really wanted to take Jocelyn :) I thought that was insanely cute, especially since we all know there's NO way Jocelyn will sit through a couple hours of anything and a little young still to understand what's going on. :) But I totally wanted to go and actually she did AWESOME for the first hour and half (we got there a little early). She was SO stinking cute, clapping and jumping up and down when every one else was cheering :) I should have gotten video but didn't think of it. I did get a couple of pictures of baby and daddy devouring some popcorn while mesmerized by the amazing gymnasts.<br />
<br />
Mike and I have been looking into all the facilities that offer gymnastics for tots, hoping to start Jocelyn somewhere in the next couple of months. HOLY MOLY it's expensive, but we think it would be worth it. She's a little crazy ;) LOL<br />

<br />
Then Saturday night...................................WE HIRED A BABYSITTER. I had SO much anxiety over this, like seriously you couldn't even imagine. I think this is also party why I was so emotional all weekend. I left her once when she was 3 months old, but she was small enough then not to really know so much what was going on. I left her one other time, but after I'd already put her to bed so the babysitter just watched tv and kept an eye on the monitor. She cried her flippin eyes out as we were leaving (OMG which is heart wrenching), but I had the babysitter text me all night to keep me updated and apparently she only cried for 10 minutes (do I believe her? lol) and did awesome all night!!! The sitter said "she has a lot of energy" LOL She played pretty hard apparently and didn't get to bed until like 10/10:30 which was totally fine, but funny =)Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-37703802123662339502012-02-05T11:25:00.000-08:002012-02-05T11:25:03.698-08:00GI UpdateWell, we had our appointment. We've had a super busy weekend so I actually haven't had a chance to post about it, but I was also pretty emotional and frustrated about it on Friday.<br />
<br />
Apparently there is nothing wrong with her. She has unexplained severe diarrhea that they consider normal and call "toddler's diarrhea," which has been mentioned to me by the last 2 Peds. I don't <i>want</i> there to be anything wrong with her, but I knew that I would feel a million times better about accepting this as a final diagnosis knowing that we had ruled everything else out. I sincerely thought they would agree that she has food allergies/sensitivity, but the Dr. said he was fairly certain we could rule that out. The reason behind my frustration is that it just seems so unacceptable that we can view severe diarrhea as "normal." An hour after we left the appointment she had a blow out so huge that I had to change her clothes (not unusual for us), but apparently that's normal even though she's almost 1.5 y/o. To say that there's nothing wrong with her and there's <i>nothing</i> I can do, that I haven't already been doing, to help her, just leaves me feeling helpless. Her tummy aches and hard round belly are apparently due to gas. Also, this toddler's diarrhea can last up until 5 years of age. Fun times.<br />
<br />
He did tell me that I feed her too much fruit and that her daily fluid intake is too high. There was some miscommunication in the visit as far as her fluid intake, but I was already exhausted and didn't feel like correcting him. I knew it wouldn't make a difference in what he would have to say anyway. But even on that front, I was trying to make sure she was getting <i>enough </i>fluid <b>because</b> of the diarrhea.<br />
<br />
My instructions are to limit her consumption of fruit, to only 1.5 TBS a day and only allow her fluids (primarily milk, then water) during mealtimes/snack times, not to exceed 32 oz total. Also to have very structured meal times and put a limit on how much time I give her to eat, without any distraction. No walking around with a snack or sippy cup. For awhile I was letting her eat in the living room to the wiggles or a
book, because she would eat more if eating wasn't the main focus. That's changed over the last couple of months, so now we do structured meal times, serving food at the table time during the
same hours (almost) every day, but when she asks me for food at random I
give it to her. She's so picky and for a long time wouldn't eat anything at all, so I guess it's become habit for me just to give her food when she asks. I don't know how I'm supposed to tell her no when it's not meal time or snack time, though it does make sense that she would consume more in one sitting if I don't allow her to take a bite here and there all day. I told him I was offering her food or snack every 2 hours (because that's what I had been told previously and also read) and his response was "Whoa! That is entirely too often, that it should only be every 3-4 hours." He also said that it doesn't matter what I feed her, that it's mostly cultural. Hmmm. He wasn't going to schedule us for a follow up but said that if I had followed my instructions and we still had issues after another 6 weeks that we should come back and run some tests. He wanted to avoid this if possible, because they're pretty invasive. <br />
<br />
I really walked away feeling defeated (is that the right word?) and guilty. Obviously the choices I had made for her weren't helping, and I couldn't help but feel like I'm partially to blame. I'm not feeding her the right foods: too much of this, not enough of that; though I feel like I'm <i>constantly</i> cooking for her and offering her a huge variety of foods at every meal hoping she'll try something different. <br />
<br />
I've had a couple of days to think about it and I'm feeling a lot better about it now. Still frustrated that there's no concrete solution available to help my poor baby, but I've had time to process everything and let it soak in. I am obviously glad to hear that there is "nothing" wrong with her and also a little relieved that I'm not having to offer her food every 2 hours, though I do think I'll have a hard time telling her no if she requests food. Hopefully the change in meal/snack times will help her with eating more so it won't be an issue. The other super positive thing is that he told us there was no worry for allergies, and gave me the okay to slowly get back into dairy again. He did recommend that we stay on Almond Milk though. This is HUGE for us because I'll have SO many more meal options for her as her favorite foods were dairy (which I'm sure is probably the case for most toddlers). So we'll be going back to edamame and yogurt as our snacks!<br />
<br />
We will make these changes and see if it helps in the least bit. In the mean time we will just start thinking positively and deal =)Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-50451395805919713602012-02-02T22:11:00.001-08:002012-02-02T22:11:27.223-08:00Our GI appointment is tomorrow, wish us luck! :)Sylvia - Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02489746496662859039noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966966744274309028.post-36117094810455804582012-01-30T14:07:00.000-08:002012-01-30T14:12:08.561-08:00Round 1 of ResultsBefore I get into more medical stuff...I just wanted to say how very grateful I am to the MANY MANY positive, encouraging family & friends I do have. I didn't mean for yesterday's post to turn into a cry out for praise or attention (I'm a little embarrassed at how many people responded w/ such great encouragement b/c it wasn't my intention). I was genuinely hoping that <span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021017">it may draw the attention of the select few with negative comments/tone and would perhaps bring them to realize that there is more to every story than meets the eye and therefore see that their ridiculous judgment is uncalled for. However, the judgmental and snooty will always be judgmental and snooty. </span><br />
<br />
<span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021017">Round 1 of Jocelyn's test results came back today. Everything came back normal! Is it silly that I </span><span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021026">was relieved, though not surprised and yet frustrated all the same? =) Obviously I don't want there to be anything wrong with her, but it would be nice to have a name for whatever it is that we're experiencing. </span><span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021031"><span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021030">I keep thinking that there's nothing <span style="font-style: italic;">seriously</span><span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021029">
wrong with Jocelyn and fully expect everything to turn up normal in
test
results. I just feel that she has to have some sort of food
allergy (I'm sorry, let me correct. I apparently use the word "allergy" too loosely though I merely repeat Dr. speak. Let me clarify that sensitivity or intolerance is not <i>nearly</i> so horrible as an allergy. What we're experiencing is of no significance at all.)/sensitivity that's causing this horrible cycle of tummy aches
and diarrhea. The other night she kept waking and crying while rubbing
her tummy, so then it was OBVIOUSLY her tummy bothering
her as if the 24/7 diarrhea didn't speak for itself. I just wish there was <span style="font-style: italic;">som</span><span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021028">e
known cause so that maybe we can treat or prevent her discomfort. It
just makes me sad and frustrated that we haven't figured it out yet. A cousin of mine has enlightened me,</span></span></span>
explaining that there are several diseases that run in the family all
tummy related. I'm crossing my fingers that it's none of those (it just doesn't seem <i>serious </i>so much as a constant annoyance<i>) </i>and
maybe just a food allergy she'll grow out of. I just started keeping a
food diary for her, so maybe that will help me figure things out. We do
have that GI
appointment on Friday, maybe that will be more successful.</span><br />
<br />
<span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021031">I apologize if my posts, or I, come across as testy these days. I'm just sick of people that don't have anything nice or supportive to say. I realize I just need to let it roll off my back and ignore "friends" like that, but that's not an easy task for me. So in the meantime, you get to listen to my snotty self ;) lol</span><br />
<span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021031"> </span><br />
<span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13279003184021031">And lastly, I really really want to thank my fabulous friends and family for being so amazing!! You guys are seriously the best, local and long distance. I love that the moms local get to see Jocelyn first hand and know the silliness I get the privilege of mothering :), and well are just awesome anyway! Mommy friends (and non mommy friends & family) long distance always know the right words to say and it makes me super thankful for facebook/email/blogger <strike>to make it easier for me to bug you when I have questions</strike>, to make staying in touch so much easier! I love all of you the same and miss those of you far away! Thanks for putting up with my cattiness, I promise it's just a phase!!

I know that no one else's opinion really matters and that <i>I</i> know I'm doing my gosh darned best, but after awhile I can't help but let some of it get to me. I realize some of it is really meant to be helpful and <i>some </i>people have good intentions, but it's the indirect comments or the need to "help" me by providing suggestions, which of course totally implies I'm either ignorant or not trying, that bother me. I appreciate advice most times, especially from mommas I really respect, but as always advice given is unsolicited from people that just have know it all syndrome and need to share.<br />
<br />
<br />
SO. Just to enlighten you.<br />
<br />
I have not mentioned this in any of our updates. At Jocelyn's 15 month
appointment she weighed in at 24 lbs 6 oz, naked. A couple days ago she weighed 23 lbs 1 oz, fully clothed with her sweater & <i>boots</i>
on. Her weight is another sensitive topic for me. It's really starting to
drive me crazy when people say to me "Well, she's obviously still
growing and is healthy" or "Well, she's obviously not starving" etc.
Because she's <i>losing</i> weight and <i>hasn't</i> grown. She still
looks healthy because she was a chunky monkey to start with, but that
doesn't mean YOU know she isn't actually starving. GRRR!! We keep her well hydrated so she isn't <i>looking</i> sickly and I'm doing my best to force food in her, getting more creative than I ever thought possible, but you can't literally "force" it.<br />
<br />
I know all toddler's are picky, but I've been so anxious about her eating because of (obviously) her weight & growth.<br />
<br />
My dad was so awesome and gifted me 3 months of cleaning service bi-weekly for Christmas. I'm thinking I should have asked for a part-time cook instead! Cooking for Jocelyn has been my biggest challenge yet. We've been mostly eating organic and I've gotten super creative with mixing pureed veggies w/ teeny chunks of meat and whole wheat pastas. The problem is she will spit out the meats and more often than not she will just turn her nose up at the whole thing before even trying it. Amazing how they can have such strong opinions about food just based on appearance alone, so early on! Before we went on the no milk/no soy diet she was doing awesome with at least yogurt, cottage cheese and edamame. The child loves dairy, soy beans, peas, carrots, celery, ALL fruit, chicken nuggets and that's it. So of course we're cutting out the dairy & soy and we're pretty limited on what she will put in her mouth. I only just barely got her to eat a little peanut butter. Oh and she loves oatmeal. The other thing is, she may love one meal one day and the next day decide she doesn't want anything to do with it. I know this is completely normal....but it definitely makes feeding her a bit trying.<br />
<br />
Here's where my guilt comes in.<br />
<br />
I have to be honest and say when the mommies meet for play group at Chick-fil-a I'm almost a little relieved (and feeling <i>super </i>guilty) to head out the door and take Jocelyn for some nuggets & fruit. The relief is two-fold. One, I need to get her out of the house to burn some energy and play. Two, she will <i>eat </i>chicken nuggets and at least CFA uses real chicken and very little breading. (Can you feel my guilt? lol) We do go much much more often than I'd like, but some days I just need her to eat and have already tried 5 different meal options before giving up. For playdates, I almost always bring other food options with me, but she never eats any of it. Chicken nuggets are 75-80% success. BTW, I do make chicken nuggets from scratch at home in huge batches along with the million other meals I make from scratch. I think we end up having a lot of pictures on facebook of Jocelyn at Chick-fil-a so I'm sure everyone thinks that we live there and probably eat there a lot. While we do eat there much more often than I'm comfortable with (meeting friends) I always try feeding her at home first. Sometimes I'm successful and she just gets to go and play with friends. Sometimes she only gets fruit and sometimes she eats a ridiculously huge meal of nuggets & fruit when we get there.<br />
<br />
BUT, to my judgy pants acquaintances (who I'm sure read that beautiful article about not judging other moms, and are still judging other moms ;)): If you had a child that was super picky and <i>losing </i>weight, I'm pretty sure your strict meal schedules would change some and maybe everything you knew would get thrown out the window too. And if you have a child that isn't picky and actually eats all that organic home made whole food you prepare, well good for you. Even more reason you shouldn't judge because you have no idea what the rest of us have to put up with. Your snarky indirect comments are just changing my opinion of YOU.<br />
<br />
Just sayin'.<br />
