We have had a few tough days. But good ones still. Growing pains I guess. This morning Savannah and I both woke up excited for our "Moms Meet Up at Villaggio Buttercups Cupcakes". It was at 10:30 this morning. We were up at 7:00 this morning. Throughout the morning I knew we had to go. I had promised Savannah we would go if she was really good and tried to go poopy in the potty. She has tried really hard. She has pooped once in 3 days. That one time was in the potty. She has worn no poopy diapers. She has had tons of meds. Not sure what is going on - other than she is trying. I follow through on promises. I kept wondering how on earth I would get her to eat lunch if we were eating donut's at 10:30. DUH... It dawned on me that what is the difference between eating a cupcake for breakfast than eating a donut? Probably more sugar in the donut? I did a Google search. These are all average totals. Dunkin Donuts glazed with strawberry frosting - 280 calories, Cupcakes 200 - 300 and poptarts 200. Its not the fat I was worried about, it was the sugar and having a 3 year old bounce off the walls when I did not feel well.. Not my favorite time of the month. I spent 20 minutes googling how much sugar is in a cupcake and a donut. I gave up. I guess we are not suppose to know that answer.
Savannah always gets a pink cupcake. Last night she told me she wanted a wedding cupcake. Surprisingly that is what she requested today. She had so much fun sitting at a table with the other little girls that she only took one bite of her cupcake. Later in the day she took a few more bites.
Since I did not feel well all afternoon, she was a very big girl. She watched a movie in her room and played with her toys. She came out checking on me several times. I of course checked on her many times. Only once did she get in her bathroom sink and fill it up with water. She said she was doing water repetitions with her play dishes. Not sure she knows what repetitions mean. She also asked me why my face was yellow. Just three year old conversations which keep me cracked up.
This moment she thinks she can do but drops on the couch. She is patiently trying to wait on her Daddy to come home from work. She has not seen him in about 3 days, other than when she slips into our bed at 4:30 in the morning. She has been going to sleep by 7:30 and said she was not tonight. She was going to make smores by the fire with her Daddy!
Beginning the day with a cupcake and ending the day with a smore is definitely a good day! More days need to be like this. Thank goodness we had healthy food during the day. But some days - you just have to keep calm and eat a cupcake! This is a tradition we have at Buttercups. One that I will carry out with her thru the years. One that neither one of us will outgrow!
