*Breathes sigh of relief* that thankfully the day is almost over. Well yesterday Jesse started pulling down his pants and taking off his nappy and today it just got worse. While I was eating breakfast he ran off to my room and came out all nudey rudey - the nappy was off and he'd left me a lovely little puddle on the carpet. I cleaned this up with paper towels and then sprinkled with bi-carb soda to get rid of the smell (a little trick I came up with when I was potty training my puppy Taz). Anywho I put the bi-carb soda up on my dresser to come back to after I had finished eating. Anyway it slipped my mind and while I was eating morning tea Jesse came out with a cup and spoon from the little picnic set he got for Christmas. He usually does this and likes me to pretend I'm drinking a cup of tea hehe!! Anyway when he got up on the couch to give it to me he flicked the spoon up my nose and I breathed in a whole spoonful of bi-carb soda. Turns out he found out where I'd hidden the box of bi-carb and proceeded to up-end it all over the carpet and now up my nose!! Well boy did it sting!! That is the most painful thing I've ever experienced (other than labour of course) lol!! It singed off all my nose hairs!!! That's how much it burnt!! So I spent the next 10 minutes or so gargling water in my nose lol to try and stop it from burning. Then when I was getting paper towels in the kitchen to put up my nose, he ran off again and 2 seconds later returned with a bare butt again - this time covered in poo!!! Well that was it for me - I followed the smell and discovered 2 lovely huge poos in his bathtub, all over his toys and my loofah !! But it gets worse - he had wiped his bum on my good jacket grrrrrrrr!!!! So it was in the highchair for him and while he was eating lunch I spent the rest of the afternoon scrubbing the bath, the shower recess and all his toys (even though i'd only cleaned the bathroom a couple of days ago arrghhh!!). Then the jacket had to be handwashed and thrown in the washing machine. Then the lovely little child (bless his heart) decided he didn't want to take a nap today. So I took him up to the shops with me to get some groceries and some stuff for dinner. When I got home he finally went for a nap so I had a laydown (I wasn't feeling 100%) and then it was up again to cook dinner (yummy chicken parmigiana) and bake a cake for desert (mmm chocolate cake - even though I can't eat it )!! And guess what Jesse won't be having any either as he decided he didn't want to eat my dinner - so it's no sweets for him tonight. His dinner almost ended up on the floor but luckily my reflexes stepped in and it just went all over the high chair. So that's been my day so far - Jesse will be going to bed in half an hour and then I'm going to have another laydown so hopefully this stupid indigestion goes away!! Oh and *fingers crossed* day one of potty training goes well tomorrow!! He isn't talking yet so I'm not sure how to communicate with him - I guess I'll just have to watch him closely and pray for the best!! Anyway I'm off to ice the cake and try to beat this indigestion . . yucky!!
