... got a visit from wonder-klutz this morning. not a superhero in my book, but whatever. 7 am: cole woke up happy and smiling. laid still for his diaper change- amazing. marked that one on the calendar. got breakfast ready for sweet and happy child- watched in horror as said child turned into a screaming demon. he seemed to think he should eat more than one bite of oatmeal at a time. battle of the wits ensued. i won, but not before the entire town heard the commotion. resigned child ended up eating only half the oatmeal. silly boy. went to start dishes, cursed the fact that the hot and cold water come out of their own taps. burned hands under one faucet, cooled them down under the other. haha. washed dishes. broke four (yes, four) glasses in one fell swoop, emphasis on "fell". cleaned up the mess. now have many miniscule shards of glass happily nesting in my fingers. managed to avoid getting any into cole- thank goodness for the amazing invention of soda bottles (no more cans. ever.). child lost interest in bottles once dishes were done- instead became intent on trying to pull my pj pants down. cried when he was told not to hang on mommy's leg. tears quickly disappeared upon his discovery of the toy basket (same one as yesterday... and the day before...). semi-cranky, still- it comes and goes. lost interest in toys in record time- now intent on banging on the windows. fine by me- he's occupied. for now. this entry ends with me debated whether or not the morning justifies running to mcdonald's for a vanilla iced coffee. after the events of the past 2.5 hours, i think maybe it would be ok to get one... especially since the ice craving is nearing uncontrollable (joke, kind of). now, crossing my fingers that the rest of the day will be more uneventful. hahahahaha!!!!

Lindsay,
Good to see you guys at Marion. Just catching up on your past posts here with a few comments. We have one of those electronic thing-ys for mice and it seems to work well, but we also have 2 cats which we KNOW works well!
I notice your ice craving is getting worse. Please get some Floradix Iron with herbs. I know it's expensive, but you'll be able to avoid a lot of complications and your little one will be a lot healthier if you don't have an iron deficiancy. Pica is the official name for craving non-food cravings. During pregnancy ice is one of the most common cravings and almost ALWAYS a sign of iron deficiency. Even if you are taking iron supplements, that may not help because you also need the herbs to help you absorb the iron. You can ask my sister-in-law about a first hand experience with ice craving as she experienced it with their 1st.
An alternative is to eat a lot of liver and other iron-rich foods!
