Abandonment

Well, I started my cleanse and I think all that I have to intake is completely gross. Just my opinion, others may think its delicious. Therefore, Im abandoning my cleanse for something hopefully equally healthy and much more to my taste buds. I guess its better to try than to never try at all.

Dreading tomorrow....

Ever since my rebellion, Ive been eating horribly, like, constant rebellion. So I start my cleanse tomorrow and Im so not ready for it. Im going to be going thru caffeine withdrawls, sugar withdrawls, hunger and all sorts of lack of energy stuff! But, Im excited for the outcome...so I must fix my eyes on the prize!

Rebellion

On my quest for optimal health, Ive invested in a juicer, sought to eat only healthy items, readily embracing avocados, coconut oil, wheat grass supplements and lemon water. Ive given up soda - havent had any in about 3 weeks or more. Ive really been trying to gear up for my cleanse and cutting way back on my caffeine intake. But then it hit me. I cant live without it! I had a rendezvous with my boyfriends....oh maybe tomorrow Ill be back on track ;)

Soothing Techniques

From the time Justus could coordinate himself, he started sucking his thumb. That and his white blanket with the "messy corner"are the ways that he settles down or soothes himself. Haven on the other hand, is not so typical. She, from the beginning, chose neither thumb nor pacifier. Instead she would lick her crib sheets. Today that is modified to putting her blanket up to her mouth and licking it. Whatever works - I guess!

oh no she didnt!

But yes, she did. Haven climbed out of her pack n play while in baby jail - ie timeout. We were waiting for Neil to come home but had started to eat dinner when Haven acted inappropriately and needed correction. So off to Baby jail she went. Then just moments later her cries became increasingly louder. I thought to myself surely Neil isnt home and went in to see her....nope as I was walking down the hall to see there she was. Then when I took her and put her back in her pack n play she immediately hiked her leg up to climb out again. But no way - that wasnt gonna fly. I quickly told her NO and put her back and told her to stay there. Thankfully she stayed, but my goodness, now Im really gonna have to be on top of it! Justus never even attempted to climb out of anything. This was definitely a first for me!

Waiting for Daddy
