ANOTHER FULL RICH DAY

Today started off with mama waking up late. I had exactly 20 minutes to shower and get Mimi breakfast before Erin and Liam were to come over for me to babysit while their mom went shopping. YIKES!!!

We all had a good time while they were here. We played on the trampoline outside. Then we watched The Little Mermaid while playing inside. Ariel is Erin's favorite doll that Mimi has. We then watched the Disney Princess music video while eating lunch. By then, it was time for Erin and Liam to go home and Mimi had to go to school. I am sooooo happy that Mimi's school is within walking distance. During school time, mama went grocery shopping. It's mama's turn to bring the snacks next week.

Next thing mama knew, it was 3:30. Time to pick Mimi up from school. We didn't even make it pass the park when she saw her friends going out to the juice shoppe. So of course, Mimi hates to miss out on any fun went with them. Mama went home to put the groceries away and then went to the park where she found Mimi having a grand time running with the boys.

At 5:30, it was time to go home for dinner. Next thing I know, Mimi is out the door playing in the street with the boys again. Unlike the neighborhood we lived in back in California, kids can safely play in the street. Not many cars and everyone drives 2 miles an hour. The weather was gorgeous today so everyone is taking advantage of it.

Now at 8:00pm, Mimi is taking a bath and mama is about to drop out of sheer exhaustion. I love it though.

DR. NAOMI "Mimi" PUTNEY

Is there a doctor in the house? Calling Dr. Mimi. She found mama's stethoscope this morning a decided to play doctor with Mulan.

DOODLE BOPS

According to Mimi, this is a picture of Disney's Doodle Bops. Deeny is on the left, Moe is in the middle and Rooney is on the right.

It actually is a very old sweatshirt that mama bought about 12 years ago in Whistler, Canada. It is definetely time to go back to Canada again.

SHE'S BACK!

"Our Mimi's back and you're gonna be in trouble. Hey NA, Hey NA, our Mimi's back". Mimi woke up EARLY this morning and had a good poop in the toilet. Her tummy no longer hurts and she's back to her old self again telling mama what to do and how to do it. And what's more, she's HUNGRY again.

HEAD COLDS AND TUMMY ACHES

This week all of the Putney's have been fighting the head cold. Although we don't have the clogged sinuses and are over the worst, it just seems to linger on forever.

All day today, Mimi was doing just fine until dinner time. She fell asleep right on the dinner table. She did not have a nap today so maybe that is why. When she woke up, she complained of her tummy hurting. Of course, mama being the nurse, checked her tummy. It was soft, no distention, bowel sounds were present. Mama thinks it may be due to constipation even though Mimi did have one small bowel movement today. She did have a slight temperature. So mama gave her some benefiber and st. joseph aspirin. Will have to wait till tomorrow for the medication to work. Mama was able to rock Mimi to sleep tonight.

FIREFIGHTER MIMI

This evening after coming home from the market, there was a fire engine in the neighborhood. The fireman was quite taken with Mimi and gave her a toy helmet. She really liked that.

DOWN FOR THE COUNT

Today again it is kind of yucky outside so the kids decided to watch Disney's "Cars" and wrestle. Blake is the brother that Mimi doesn't have. He seems to enjoy bossing her around (Mimi likes to boss Blake around also) and Mimi is able to stand her ground and not listen to him. Which in turn really ticks him off (good for Mimi, I'm so proud of her). I always tell him "Blake honey, Mimi has her own mind and knows how to use it. So you need to get used to that fact!"
