Well C and I have been coming down with a cold slowly for a few days now. And again I have done everything in my power to avoid all sickness in our household. Hell I just got over the flu not that long ago so I didn't expect to be getting any type of illness this soon. Anyways, We both have head cold symptoms so hopefully it will pass soon. C woke up every 2 hours last night and mainly just didn't feel good and wanted to be held. I obliged and enjoy when she needs me. She is a very independent little girl much like her mama so she doesn't want help doing things or to be held much anymore :( Thankfully I'm off work today so the little to no sleep will be alright since the only person I have to please today is her. And hopefully can sneak in a nap with her today (fingers crossed). At least I found out what my problem was with my motivation and energy at the gym....I was coming down with a cold (ah ha). While the baby slept last night I snuck to the gym and had the hubs on daddy duty and got a pretty good 45 min workout in. I was huffing and puffing like I did when I just started working out about 11 months ago (man I can't believe how time has just flown by!!). But my throat is swollen when I touch my neck and I'm just going to try to take it easy till I am back to 100%.
This morning C woke up about 8 am and was in the worst mood ever. Nothing I did was good enough for her. I decided to give her a bath and some tylenol because she had a little bit of a fever and she didn't want to eat or drink anything. Plus she's an Aquarius so water is soothing to her when she doesn't feel good, I know because thats what I am. Well the little toot was making funny faces and decided she was going to shit in the tub for the very first time and by the time I realized what she was doing I just wasn't fast enough. Once I pulled her out of the tub to deal with the crime scene she ended up shitting in the floor. I was so grossed out (yes I still get grossed out by poop) and was making such weird noises that it upset her. I just ended up cuddling with her and she finally let me feed her. She loves pretty much any type of fruit and yogurt so thats what she had.
Side note: I am so thankful that I know how to eat right and what to feed my family that will nourish them correctly. C eats pretty much everything I cook. I'm just glad I won't have to worry about her health as she gets older. And that she won't have to deal with obesity as a child like I did.
It seriously bothers me when I see parents giving in to their children just to shut them up. I will not be that parent. I had those types of parents that didn't read labels and had NO CLUE what they were feeding us and would try to make us eat healthy or how they thought was healthy and when we refused they would still give us dessert afterwards just so we didn't go to bed hungry. By the way I don't believe in dessert after dinner at our house. Dessert to me is something special and shouldn't be an every night thing. With that said I also feel that you should not "save" room for dessert your dinner should make you full and thats that. (this is only my personal opinion, not saying that it's right for everyone)
I'm not judging and I'm not trying to be controversial but I had
I take the time to teach my child how to eat right and will continue to. I will not give in to the easy way out just to shut my kid up. Literally 98% of her food is natural/healthy. The other 2% is at the babysitter and they tell me what they feed her but I know how they eat so I'm pretty sure she isn't getting the right nutrition there.
Also when she gets older I will allow her to have "treats" that have little nutritional value because I don't want to deprive her of fun foods even if I don't agree completely with their contents. But I will not be like the majority of the families I see at the store with their baskets filled with mainly yoohoo, gummy "fruit" snacks, crazy amount of chips, and frozen kids meals.
