Little Heart Broken Mia

Current Mood: Sympathetic

Sigh..my little Mia. At times shes running all over the place trying to conquer the world. Nothing can stop her or get in her way. Other times shes sensitive and her little bubble can be burst so easily. Today was another one of those moments... poor little Mia.

I had Alex sitting up against the couch cushion and was taking pictures of him. Mia noticed and wanted me to take pictures of her too. So I took some of her (even though her mouth was covered in blueberries), some of him, and some with both. Mia was all excited and really liked taking pictures for once (she usually doesn't like her picture taken). What made her even more excited was the baby sitting on the couch. She wanted to sit closer to him and eventually got enough courage to sit directly next to him. (She still tends to shy away from physical contact with her brother). I thought to myself, AWESOME! now I can get some really good shots of both of them together... WRONG!

That is when Mia got alittle too excited and looked over at her brother and said "eye!" and literally poked Alex in the eye just as I took a picture! I quickly put the camera down and scolded Mia not to touch "baby eye!" It was at that point that her little world came crashing down. I didn't notice it right away, but when I took the next picture it was hard not to notice.

She quickly began to pout, her little lip curled down, she put her head down and tears just started streaming down her cheeks. She didn't cry out loud but instead did a sort of wimper. She was crushed. I quickly tried to comfort her and console her but I couldn't. It literally took about 5 mins before I could snap her out of it. During that Alex just sat there and watched. Finally after she perked up she said "baby eye ... cry" and thats when I knew that she was not upset that I scolded her but upset that she hurt her baby brother. I then brought the baby over to her to show her he was ok and that made her happy again.

Little Mia, she really does love her brother otherwise she wouldn't have cared so much about poking his eye.

My Little Peeing Machine!

Current Mood: Accomplished

Ok when they tell you that boys are peeing machines, they aren't kidding!!! Good Grief! I swear sometimes I think Alex just holds it and waits for one of us to open his diaper up! I have never had so many peeing accidents with Mia EVER! I mean seriously, I think Mia peed herself during a diaper change maybe 2-3 times in her whole two years of life! With Alex its at LEAST once a day! Lucky for us his aim is still pretty bad and he pretty much just ends up peeing on himself... poor little guy. But now that I am beginning to accept the fact someone will get pee on them, I have started to jump into the cross fire in hopes to block the stream from hitting him or his jammies! (There is nothing worse than having him finally calm down only to pee on his jammies and have to change his clothes, wake him up more, and have him really pissed off (excuse my pun haha)) I have noticed that it doesn't bother me as much if I need to sacrifice my own hand to block it. Ya it isn't the most pleasant thing to do or feel but it does help. At least I know all I need to do is wash my hands and clean him up where I was already cleaning. Alex's chest, side and face are safe and so are his jammies. I think its a good trade off.

Wow being a Mom you really do, do things you'd never think you'd do in a million years! I am Mama-pee pee blocker! Hear me roar! RAWR! haha

Well time to do MORE laundry... we are really going through receiving blankets like crazy! (I put them under him while I change him)
