the love of a child or reality stinks?

I can't decide which title I like best.

One of the great things about parenting is that your children love you so much that they are willing to do anything for you. Well, almost anything! We have been having a pj day at our house as Frances stayed home from school with a cold and what is maybe pink eye (I think it is more of a cold in her eye as it is not goopy, just red). We have all been fighting off colds so we have have been using extra hand santizer today and spraying Lysol on everything. I put Delaney down in the Bumbo seat (which she usually tries to get out of immediately) and she actually stayed there for over ten minutes! When I went to get her out...I could smell what she had been doing! It was horrific! By the squishy feel of her back I knew we were headed straight to the bathtub. Frances wanted to come and see (not sure why this excites her, we must need to get out more). As I began to take the top layer off and see the damage I exclaimed that I didn't want to do it and would Frances do it for me. She said no and insisted that I had to. When asked why, she said because I am the grown up. Reality stinks!

She is all cleaned up and taking a nap. Frances' eye seems to be pretty good. We got drops called in for us and are using them but it has not been goopy at all, still red though. She is not itching either so I am hopful that we are not really too contagious.

Did I mention that I gave Delaney pear juice for the first time last night and this morning? (hence the horrific experience) She is also now eating lots of veggies. She seems to like peas and carrots best so far. Thanks for listening! I am off to do some laundry:)
