I HATE Diaper Rashes!!!!

Both times that Allie Bug has had diarrhea, she has ended up with a terrible yeast diaper rash. Poor little thing, I know every time she pee-pees and poopies because she goes from happy as a lark to crying in seconds. I wish we as parents could take the things from our children that they have to go through. I think I would take these old things ten times worse if it meant that Allie didn't have to get them. Thank God for medication!!! Hopefully it will be cleared up in a few days. The other thing we are working on around here today is Allie going to sleep on her own. Since she has been sick, I have rocked her to sleep, and even slept with her because she would scream the minute I would put her down. While she is sick, rest and comfort comes first, not her being able to put herself to sleep. Well, now that she is not longer sick I have to deal with her "crying it out" for a few days and nights. I just hope it only takes a couple of times, because I can't stand to hear her crying for me. Mommy needs more than four hours of sleep a night though, especially having to keep up with a ten month old, and Allie sleeps so much better by herself!!! I got my hair chopped off yesterday. I couldn't stand the half brown, half blonde getup I was sporting around. I feel so much better now that I am pretty much all brown now. The Lord gave me brown hair, and I may not like it all that much, but I am going to learn to love what He gave me!! It is just too darn expensive to change the color of your hair these days!! Well, I will leave you with some precious pictures of my little darling!! Oh yeah, before I go. I just tell you about this wonderful book I am reading by Elizabeth George, "I love that woman!" God has truly blessed her with a gift to inspire women to be HIS women. The book is called A Woman's High Calling. It is a must read for any of you out there who are looking for a good book to sink into.

Daddy getting some luvin, and Allie just looking precious!

And these are for you Pa. It was freezing on Nat'l Champ day, but by George Allie was going to wear her Gator Onezie. So what else to do but crank up the heat and dress her in summer attire!! GO GATORS!!
