My morning sickness has returned in full swing this weekend. I’m so nauseous and dizzy and tired and indigestiony I can barely compose a sentence. So, I’m going to use the “I’m pregnant” excuse — now that I can, after 3 months of not being able to — for why this post is, erm, less than inspired….

I’ll use the little energy I have left right now to tell you about the ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS. I’ve been begging the universe for help with our little bath-time issue. See, we figured it out. The monkey’s PETRIFIED that she’s going to poop in the tub again. (And, there I was all excited about her pooping in the tub and saying “poo poo”…little did I know how utterly traumatized she was by the event!) It’s heartbreaking to see her freak right out when I tell her it’s bath time. She won’t even sit down in the water, and when I get in with her, she clings to me, shuddering “poo poo”! So so so so so so sad!

Anyway! After 2 weeks of hellish bath times, we’ve found a solution. Here it is:


This thing totally rocks. The monkey’s so excited to play with her “floating island” at bath time now. She’s even stopped CRYING! Instead, she’s sliding Diego down the slide and singing “DIEEEEGO!” And, not surprisingly (cheaty little thing that she is), the monkey LOVES Swiper — so, she LOVES watching him appear and disappear in the tree trunk. If you have bath troubles, or if your kid loves Dora and/or Diego, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Oh, and, by the way? The next Pussycat Doll is…..

She was ALL over this boa at Indigo this weekend. The salespeople, of course, were getting mad. Whatevs, suck it. LOVE!
