It's been a while...

This could turn out to be kind of a long one....
The second week of school sure did turn in to be an interesting one. Monday and Tuesday were quite uneventful with the new "normal" school routine beginning to come in to place. Wednesday however was anything but normal. It all started with a phone call at work from Makenzie's daycare that she had fallen and bumped her eye. She was fine but they just wanted me to be aware. Like I said previously...Makenzie has no fear and since being moved up with the bigger kids she insists on doing everything that they do. When I arrived at the school I realized it was not just a little bump but a beautiful black and blue shiner!!! (It is now in the greenish/yellowish phase) I had to pick her up early that day due to her needing her 15 month shots. These are never fun. 4 shots at one time is not something I think that anyone would enjoy. It was the longest doctor visit ever. We waited for 1 hour in the waiting room which by then Makenzie was quite miserable and I was on my way. It took another hour in the actual room. While waiting I got a phone call from Rian that there had been a fight on the school bus and Kylie got hit. What? Are you kidding me? With Makenzie screaming in the background I told him I would have to deal with it when I got home and went to pick her up. After 2 hours and 4 shots later we finally were able to leave the doctor and I dropped Makenzie off at home to go get Kylie. Apparently Rian had heard wrong because she was not hit she had gotten pinched by a boy and our neighbor at that! Apparently there was an issue with a book bag and all of the boys ganged up on the girls and started pinching them. Of course knowing how dramatic girls can be, they all started crying and caused a huge ruckus! I do have to say though that Kylie ended up with a pretty good bruise herself! So Wednesday ended with both kids black and blue and me just hoping for a better Thursday! I should have known better.
Makenzie slept really well Wednesday night and I thought it was quite weird that she had not woken me up yet before my alarm as she usually does. I got up and went in to her room to find her sitting in her crib smiling at me and laughing! She had to be up to something. As I approached the crib something had happened that had never happened to me before. Makenzie had learned to take her diaper off and had pooped. She was playing with her poop! It was everywhere! On the floor, in her bed, squished between her fingers! Absolutely disgusting! All I could at that point after getting over the initial shock was laugh! It was either that or cry! My Thursday was not starting out any better than my Wednesday had ended. Needless to say Kylie was late for school and I was late for work that morning. I told Kylie to blame it on our newly named poopy monster!
Thursday evening was calmer and Friday was wonderful. Kylie went with my brother and his wife to the softball game and Rian and I stayed home and enjoyed some peace and quiet.
Saturday was dinner at my parents with my dad's mom and Sunday was a repeat with my mom's parents. It is Monday again and we get to do it all over again! Hoping this week is a little less exciting than last week was!
