Yahoo, B is starting to feel better! Still not 100%, but much better. She actually wanted to go play outside today! Yeah for outside and yeah for not being stuck inside watching videos!

We did start our morning off a little rough. After Ryan got up to get ready for work and B was in our bed, she was pretty restless not wanting to stay near me and in the center of the bed (it's a king bed, so plenty of room). As well, she kept climbing on top of his pillow that we had laying to help her from rolling off if she fell asleep (she has never come close to it, but just in case). I kept moving her back to the middle.

Well, I guess I dozed off for a minute until I heard a big thud. And then crying. Loud crying. Oh no! She rolled off the bed. :( Apparently, she landed face down and cut her mouth somewhere. Poor girl! I felt so bad. The only upside I could see to this is that all the hard crying got A LOT of snot out of her nose. Silver linings, right...

After she woke up and found out daddy was at work, she cried, "daddy, daddy" while laying down at the top of the stairs. She looks so miserable here, but thankfully, she started feeling better soon after.

Another "fun" (said sarcastically) event of our day happened when Ryan was home for lunch. The two of them were upstairs playing in her room. Next thing I know Ryan is calling for my help. Wwwweeeellll, I guess all her sickness is coming out and in different ways. Like diarrhea ways. Lots of it. Out of her pull up. On her shirt. On her pants. Oh, and on the carpet. Ugh. And yuck, yuck, YUCK!

The two us got her taken care and then wouldn't you know it, Ryan had to get back to work. No, for real. He had a conference call starting in a few minutes. Just glad he was here to help get her taken care of.

I didn't really know where to start to get sticky, gooey diarrhea out of the carpet. So, of course, I googled it.

Step 1: scrape off as much as you can, you know, without rubbing it in any further.
Step 2: spray, spray, spray it with a vinegar and water solution.
Step 3: use spot scrubber machine on it.
Step 4: repeat steps 2 & 3 over and over again.
Step 5: sprinkle (or dump) baking soda on top and let it absorb it.
Step 6: vacuum up baking soda.
Step 7: come back later to check on it and still be able to see the spot. :(
Step 8: spray it with more vinegar and water solution
Step 9: soak up with paper towel by pressing down as hard as you possibly can to get it to absorb into the paper towel
Step 10: repeat step 9 a few times.

Ah, finally, the spot it gone!!!

On another note, here's a happy picture from our time outside.

Leaves on the lilac bushes!!
