5/11/11 - Taco Night

Today was a fairly boring day. The standard business at work. Christian will be starting at 7:00 all week, so more OT for him. YAY!! Last night was another rough night. Amelia just did not want to go to bed, or stay in bed for that matter. I ended up making Christian take over tonight, it was his turn for sure after the other night! Her upper gums are SUPER swollen right now, really bad, so I wish with all my might those teeth would pop through! Anyway, she ended up falling asleep in bed with us tonight. On top of the teeth, it was SO SO SO hot out today, that the house just wouldn't cool down, so I think the heat was getting to her too.

After work, we all met up at home right away. So, we actually got in some family time tonight! We had taco's for dinner. Olivia is FINALLY really into taco's, she likes to eat them just like us, which is cute (and messy). As we started dinner, I thought we'd finally discovered something Amelia wouldn't eat. I put a little taco meat, rice and tomatoes in a bowl, and I whipped up a little bananacado to top it off, and she wouldn't eat. She kept pushing the spoon away and whining. I was in utter shot. Then I had the bright idea of giving her the bowl to see what she would do...turns out she just really wanted to feed herself, because she had at it. And I mean, HAD AT IT. You'll see by the photos below...that was not fun to clean up. There is a reason we never really let Olivia feed herself...LOL.

After dinner we just cleaned up and watched some TV for a while. Olivia did really well on the potty again today, just didn't get her diaper off quick enough this morning, and she went in her nap time diaper too, otherwise no accidents. We're still doing the "run around bottomless" method this week, and pulling down her pants/underwear when she has to go just isn't clicking yet. Not sure how to really work on that...
