I would say today was a GREAT day!! It started out with my daughter waking me up asking to “nuggle (snuggle) mommies pillow”. Who could refuse a request such as that even if it’s at 5:30am. So we snuggled for a while WITHOUT any GD. Afterwards we got up and went into our living room to watch some am cartoons. Of which she’d never be able to do with GD or at least not be able to focus on them long. I know, I know … Yes, I do incourage some am seasame street and little einsteins. How horrible of me. But at tleast it gives us all a chance to wake up and afterwards the t.v. remains off.

Anyway she actually sat and watched the wiggles fully while sitting “like a big girl” the whole time. That’s right NO GD this am. We read books, ate some snack, drank our morning beverage’s and ate all of our breakfast. Again without any GD. This was a great morning!!! I needed to have another great day with her. Since the last two in a row that’s all I want for her now. She really enjoys herself i.e. eating, playing, LAUGHING, etc. when GD isn’t around.

At nap time she started up with the GD again. Not too bad but there. She had a playdate of which GD was present for for a little while then it stopped. We went out and again GD was on/off. She asked while we were out “mommy poopy potty” except there weren’t any bathrooms where we were so I told her we could at home. That was it she never asked again so I figured she’s trying to make conversation. However, after lunch/nap she woke with GD and same thing as last night. The GD showed up and slowly intensifeid. Then while trying to change her diaper that was only ‘wet’ she flipped out on me again. She was screaming, crying, kicking her feet and yelling no mommy all at the same time. But no BM. She kept presenting as though she had to go. So, finally I put her on her potty and almost immediately a HUGE BM. That was THREE large BM’s since yeaterday afternoon/evening. THREE!!! Afterwards she had a great bathtime, we read books, arts and crafts, she ate/drank, colored, you name I did it with her fully enjoying my mommy time without GD!!!

How great it is to be able to do the simplest things with your daughter. I’ll never take days like this for granted and will always cherish them.

I am so anxious to get to this G.I. Dr. to see what he/she has to say about her bowel movements because in light of her behavior over the past few days I’d say her BM’s play a big part in the GD for herself. Again I’m not looking to “cure” her but if this is really a cause for her worst days and maybe just being on something to regulate her BM’s then we’ll have lessened the bad days.
