There's no worse combination than the following:

potty training + diarrhea
diarrhea + first day of pre-school
toddler diarrhea + newborn tummy aches
newborn trying to sleep + hyper toddler

yeah!

My scar is healing well but the inside still hurts and I forget every now and then that I shouldn't stretch so much (I just love to stretch like a cat) coz it's ouchie!

Kevin was supposed to start school last Friday and he's been fully potty trained as of Wednesday :clap: (we started Wednesday) hahaha. Although he had been making trips every now and then in his "baby school" last year. This time, he really had no pampers all day long and would ask me each time he had to go.

We also went to a studio to have ID pictures taken of them (last Wednesday). For Kevin, it was required for school, and for Angeli, it is for her French ID card so she can travel within Europe anytime we need to. Kevin's pic was fast, he likes to pose. lol. Angeli's was harder because they have certain state requirements for pics, even for babies....eyes should be open (wake up Angeli!) mouth closed (and she loves to have her mouth open), eyes looking at the camera (she's too young to really look at any one on demand), face steady and front (she cannot hold her head yet so I have to hold her neck from the back - my fingers/hand should not be seen in the pictures). Finally, after several tries, the photograph succeeded a passable pic for the administration. Here are my two kids now...naughty looking Kevin and buddha like Angeli (still no hair!), lol.

However, come Thursday, Kevin suddenly became sick with diarrhea...as you can imagine, the idea of not having any pampers has been shelved. At first I thought he was just having accidents -- and I had to clean up after him (and even hose him down at times). So come Friday, we told the school he won't be able to make it (you can't go to pre school with pampers here) because he is sick. He's needy as ever, and it doesn't help that his baby sister started developing tummy aches just about the same time and needed more attention...and tummy massages.

The things we do for motherhood...**tired**
