Saturday morning I woke up and decided I was over diapers. When I first told Jesse last Saturday that her diaper days were over, she pitched a fit. Her diaper had become her security blanket in a strange way.
But I stuck to my guns. She has had a few accidents this week, but transitioning to panties wasn’t as tough as I though it would be. She’s been ready for awhile. Now we need to work on getting her out of them at night. That is going to take inconveniencing her dad to stop giving her water at night in her bedroom. I can hear his point right now: “But she needs to keep drinking to keep flushing the kidneys.” And yes she does, but we are not buying another box of diapers after this box is gone.
Last night the Vietnam Veterans invited us to dinner and gave Jesse a gift to help pay for her future scans. We really appreciate their generosity. Jesse and Chris had a blast meeting everyone. I am always amazed at the ease they have with introducing themselves and just being around new people. Sometimes it severely freaks me out too. These two don’t know a stranger.
The rest of the week has been very quiet. Christine came down with strep throat last week, but luckily Jesse hasn’t picked that up. I have been training to run an 8k in March.
I haven’t heard yet about Jesse’s upcoming kidney scans. From my previous experience with urology, this might take some time for her to be fit into their schedule.
Jesse is eating really well. In fact for lunch today she ate her first tuna sandwich. Her father was concerned that it might make her sick, but so far so good. And she loved it. I am working with her on the whining. We been having some trouble with that and listening. But these are probably normal 3 year old kid issues.
I did see yesterday that ABC News was reporting a study has found children requiring anesthesia for multiple procedures are more likely to develop ADHD. Something for us to keep an eye on.
Hope everyone has a safe weekend.
