Ella has been going through a growth spurt the last week or so and it is driving me up the wall. All morning long she whines and fights, eats everything i give her (but only after yelling "NO!" at me and throwing it on the floor twice) avoids napping until late afternoon, wakes up near bedtime, and then is in a great mood around the time that i run out of gas. I keep reminding myself that she's being a brat because she doesn't feel good, but hey - why do I never get to use that excuse? Being the mom sucks sometimes.
Also, yesterday Ella (in a test of my patience and gag control) took off her diaper, pooed on the floor, stepped in it, and when I found her was trying to clean off her foot with a shirt. She knew she was in trouble and made sad sorry noises the entire time I was cleaning it up, so at least it may not happen again, but man. At least it wasn't in her mouth (yet), right?
