One of those days...

Ugh. Today has been wild. Let's see, where to start. This morning Meredith took off all her clothes and pooped in the floor, but just a little bit. Some of it came out before she made it to the potty, but when I looked in the toilet the rest was in there.

I went into Natalie's room and found the girls lying next to each other, face to face, singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star as loud as they could, then giggling hysterically. I started tickling them at the same time. They would stick their feet up and say, "Tickle my feet! Tickle my arm! Tickle my other arm! Tickle my knees!" so I'd tickle them and they'd squeak and giggle. I thought if there's one thing I wish I could always remember about my girls at this age, it would be their high-pitched, squeaky laughs.

Then this afternoon Natalie brought me two diapers and told me which one she wanted to wear. She had pooped her diaper and I didn't realize it until I opened it. It looked like a clump of green and brown playdoh. I couldn't find the wipes so I told her to be still, which she's actually usually good at during changes, and I went to the bathroom to get some toilet paper. I cleaned her off and about freaked because she DID move and there was a little piece on my new quilt. I got her up and cleaned off the quilt when she said, "Ow!" and rubbed her head. I looked and the HUGE piece of poop was in her hair! I could NOT get it out because it was just like playdoh! I tried getting a wet wipe (that I found after the change, of course), then I hung her head over he sink and hoped the wet would make it let go of her head. I got most of it out but had to scrub her head in the bath to get the rest.

After her bath, Natalie needed her bangs cut, so she got a trim, and even painted nails! So poop in the hair equals a makeover.

Ryan and Colby came home after work and school. We had dinner and the kids were playing with a bowling ball and pins afterward. Somehow a fight broke out and Meredith lost, but not before getting a bloody nose. The story goes that she hit Colby in the stomach, so Colby threw either the ball or a pin and hit her in the face. Much punishment and conversation was doled out to all involved. Also, Meredith got a dose of Tylenol and her nose has bled a little off and on but she seems to have things under control.

Ryan came into the bedroom a few minutes ago and said there was poop on the wall in the hallway.

Meredith asked if I would dry her hair. She's obsessed with Tangled and wants to be Rapunzel. While I was brushing her hair she was saying something. I asked her what she said and she said she was just singing. So while I dried her hair, she sang like Rapunzel did every time she got her hair brushed. I love that little girl and her imagination.

Tonight Shirley had her baby on Community, and it's Michael Scott's last night on The Office.

I'm ready for bed.
